We help your writing grow.
From improving your English to polishing your academic and nonfiction writing, we empower writers.
Copyediting or proofreading for dissertations, master’s theses, journal articles, research and reflective essays, and admissions materials. We can help with grammar, clarity, and MLA, APA, or Chicago-style formatting.
Improve your writing skills. Clients use these sessions to talk through their writing process, develop their ideas, or improve their academic English skills in preparation for graduate school.
Feeling stuck writing your dissertation? We’ll walk with you throughout the process. We can help you understand the difficult pieces of the writing process, collect sources and organize your literature review, and respond to your reviewers’ comments.
Copyediting and proofreading for reports, white pages, educational materials, and documentation for educational agencies and institutions. We work with clients to clean up their drafts, improve readability, or double-check their final products. We specialize in nonfiction materials related to K–12 education.
What It's Like to Work With Us:
"[I appreciated] your willingness to research the norms for the particular genre and audience I was targeting, whether children's magazine or prayer book. . . . I hope to work with you again someday!"
"You provided an honest assessment and perspective from start to finish. . . . You understood my personal investment and were respectful of my work. You were accessible, organized and easy to work with. . . . The experience hiring you was one of the best decisions I made during the dissertation process. Finding you and your services was truly a blessing. Amid so many regular dissertation struggles, a pandemic and racial challenges your presence was actually very cathartic and kind. I was impressed by your work ethic and attention to detail."
"The fee was reasonable and the timeline for getting my work done was perfect. I have already recommended the service because of the price, timeliness, and the thorough feedback I received."
"You are very responsive and project turnaround time was quick. Also, the personalized portal which displayed the contract, all correspondence, project, receipt, and invoice information was very helpful; all of this information located in one place made this experience enjoyable!"

I received my PhD in English in December 2021, the most recent milestone in my lifelong writing journey. I’ve been writing fiction for as long as I can remember, and I began pursuing academic writing when I started my undergraduate studies in English. Writing has always felt like a very personal and meaningful activity to me, and I love helping others express themselves in their own writing.

I am thrilled to share my passion for editing and writing with you—I can’t wait to see all you are accomplishing!

I have been writing stories, poetry, and nonfiction for as long as I can remember. Somewhere in my late teens, I began to see a connection between three of my favorite subjects (music, mathematics, and writing): patterns. My studies at Texas A&M University included advanced grammar in Spanish and linguistics, both of which further extended my understanding of morphology and syntax and lent confidence in my own writing and peer editing. As your editor, in addition to proofreading for typos and grammatical errors, I will be constantly looking for ways to help you improve as a writer, concisely convey your thoughts and research, and keep your audience engaged and interested.
