This service is for writers seeking hands-on assistance in composing their research documents. We will work together to create a text that foregrounds your expertise, meets the expectations of your readers, and is coherent, organized, and graceful.

My collaborative writing services are especially useful if you need to adapt a piece of writing from one genre to another (for instance, white paper to research article, dissertation to article(s), paper to oral presentation), if you are writing in an unfamiliar genre or publishing in a new venue, if you are struggling to incorporate previous feedback into your writing, if you can’t figure out how to make an unwieldy draft work, or if you are seeking a collaborative push to help you finally get your writing done.

I am also available to generate content based on your research, including

• responses to reviewer comments,

• public-facing summaries of your research, and

• articles for media outlets or institutional websites.

This service is not ghostwriting. I write with you, not for you. You are responsible for the ideas; my job is to help you pull everything together. This might involve drafting an introduction or conclusion, reorganizing a literature review, rearranging sections, or cutting a giant manuscript down to size.

Graduate students, please note that in the interests of academic integrity I do not offer writing services for theses, dissertations, or papers for coursework—although I am very happy to provide 1:1 coaching, language editing, or developmental editing and to undertake other types of writing projects.

rates

Writing services are billed hourly at a rate of $65/hour. The service scales to meet your needs and budget, and it can be combined with other services as your project develops. Our collaboration will begin with a (free) consultation by email, phone, or video in which we determine your needs, timeline, and budget. Writing projects are typically billed in two parts: an initial deposit of 50% of the estimated final cost, and the remaining 50% upon delivery.
