Writing Consultancy

I am delighted to be able to support academic authors and scholars in their writing journeys. Whether you are a junior scholar figuring out how to move from dissertation to book or you need support to get a new project off the ground, I might be able to help.

Please send me an email to book an initial consultation for me to be able to better understand your needs and goals. To ensure I can provide the highest level of attention to each project alongside my other commitments, I am keeping my writing consultancy practice small and selective. If we decide that we would like to work together, we will figure out the best type and frequency for our meetings according to your needs.

While I can offer general writing support for many different kinds of projects, the following forms of support are what I do best:

  • Developmental editing: This consultation is intended to help authors figure out the big picture. The purpose is to take an idea and to develop it into a book manuscript. The main focus is on the framing and structure of the project. This process might take multiple appointments based on where you are in the project.

  • Book coaching: This offers one-on-one mentorship on all aspects of moving from dissertation to book manuscript, argumentation, style, through-line, audience. For more seasoned authors, it provides a regular feedback and accountability structure. The pace is based on your needs but I encourage a biweekly structure, with new material sent to me a week in advance.

  • Publication consultancy: This type of support focuses on helping you how to navigate the academic publishing field, from identifying venues that are good fits for your work to figuring out the etiquette of communicating with editors and responding to peer reviews, including how to make decisions about when to submit, etc.
