Tools of the Trade
Developmental and Line Editor
Developmental editors help writers assess the overall structure of their manuscript, making sure that "the big picture" is both coherent and cogent--and that it conforms to industry standards and expectations.
Line editors, on the other hand, attend to more local matters, scrutinizing a manuscript line by line, fixing faulty grammar, syntax, and word choice while always ensuring that sentences flow smoothly.
Dissertation Coach
​
Those of us who have had direct experience working on a dissertation know how frustrating it can be at times. Sometimes, we're not entirely sure what we want to emphasize. Sometimes, we may not even know what our main ideas are. And sometimes, we just can't structure that huge, unwieldy chapter. I can help you with all of the above. I'll help you brainstorm when you get feedback from your doctoral supervisor. You see, I've been through this at Oxford, where 55% of doctoral candidates in the English department did not complete their Ph.D.'s. I will make every effort to ensure you complete your dissertation.
Writing Coach and Tutor
Perhaps you don't necessarily want to publish right now but just want to improve your writing so you can begin blogging. Or perhaps you want to promote your business. Maybe you have a child in high school or college who needs assistance in writing college application essays or term papers. I can guide you (or your child) every step of the way, from simple outline to polished blog, promotional materials, or essay.
