As a writing coach for people working on nonfiction (theses, dissertations, academic papers, books, memoirs), I provide developmental and copyediting services and help with organization, writer’s blocks, procrastination, time management, and breaking long or overwhelming tasks into doable pieces. I coach graduate and undergraduate students on writing projects. I also work with faculty who are trying to publish books or articles in a variety of fields. My coaching experience includes work in social sciences, education, sciences, and humanities. I am also experienced working with adults and teens with learning disabilities and ADD. My recent books, How to Become an Academic Coach and Scaling the Ivory Tower, coauthored with Hillary Hutchinson, are good illustrations of my capabilities.

All good writing is essentially storytelling. No matter what you’re writing—a thesis, a chapter, a report, a biography, a proposal, a novel, a poem—successful communication depends on understanding your reader’s needs and developing your ideas along a single, clear, sustained line of thought. I specialize in developmental editing of memoirs and literary projects, but the storytelling model applies to every kind of writing. My editorial experience ranges from editing the memoirs of a real-estate mogul to annotating the plays in The Norton Anthology of Drama to copyediting the last three editions of The Norton Introduction to Literature. Please see my CV.
