Writing as a way of thinking
Dissertation coaching and writing support for university students.
Dissertation coaching and writing support for university students who want to move from a promising draft to work that is clear, rigorous, and recognizably their own.
For undergraduate essays, doctoral dissertations, scholarly articles, campus workshops, and speaking events.
Four ways into the work
A serious reader for each stage of the work.
01
Dissertation coaching
Chapter architecture, argument, transitions, and the long middle of a PhD project.
02
Student writing coaching
A clearer question, stronger organization, and an argument you can defend from first draft to final.
03
Humanities tutoring
Patient, rigorous conversation for students learning to read, think, and make meaning.
04
Campus speaking
Talks and workshops on honest history, writing as thinking, and intellectual life beyond the ivory tower.
A wider practice
Your best work deserves a serious reader.
Bring the question you cannot quite phrase yet. We will make a plan for the draft, the deadline, and the thinking that matters most.
