GRADUATE AND FACULTY SUPPORT SERVICES
Single Chapters (10,000 words or less) || I will provide comprehensive feedback on the quality of your writing with a guaranteed one-week turnaround from the receipt of payment. This service includes careful line-by-line review of your work as well as a summative report. I will help you to articulate your claims, structure and evaluate your argument, eliminate infelicitous phrasing and language, and achieve power and clarity of expression. I can tailor this support to suit your needs at any stage of your writing process, from the drafting of outlines and proposals to submission for peer review. I am sensitive to the fact that writing is personal. I also understand how tricky and anxiety-inducing peer and supervisory relationships can be. As with all of my work, this service is supportive and free of judgment.
Academic Coaching || I will provide you with the support and mentorship you need to achieve your writing goals, whatever they might be. This includes weekly scheduled video meetings (or as needed) and extensive written feedback on your work. In addition to guiding you through the writing process, I will help you to develop strategies for making your deadlines, managing stress, handling criticism, and overcoming writer’s block. This service includes unlimited email support.
PRE-PROFESSIONAL DOCUMENTS
Graduate School Applications and Writing Samples || I will provide comprehensive support in the preparation of your applications for graduate school, whether your prospective degree is academic or professional. I will advise you on the selection of programs that best suit your academic interests and training, develop strategies for presenting your skills and experience in a way that is appropriate, and help you craft a narrative that strikes the right balance between summary (what you have done) and aspiration (what you hope to achieve). I will also walk you step-by-step through the development of your personal statements and the drafting and polishing of your writing samples. This service includes unlimited email support.
Curriculum Vitae and Cover Letters || Going on the job market? I will read and provide expert feedback on your CV and cover letter, and help you to achieve clarity and concision in your presentation. I can also help you to craft materials that meet appropriate visual standards, ensuring that they not only read well, but also look polished and professional.
Scholarships and Fellowships || I offer comprehensive support in the preparation of applications for scholarships and fellowships. I have helped a number of students win awards to support their studies--and supported my own post-graduate studies as a DAAD fellow. Please contact me to learn more about the ways I can support you.
