Hire the Best Writers in Vancouver, BC

I have been teaching basic writing skills to undergraduates who are both native and non-native speakers of English since 2001, when I first took a part-time job at Champlain Regional College's Writing Centre. I defended my PhD in history at Johns Hopkins, where I edited (and graded) hundreds of student papers and dozens of my colleagues' articles and chapters for submission. I also worked at the Milton S. Eisenhower library information desk and helped students and the general public navigate the research resources. I am familiar with Chicago, MLA, and APA citation styles, and I understand the importance of proper source attribution in non-fiction. My own writing style is crisp and simple. I believe in short sentences that get right to the point. I read English, French, Italian and Latin and have a firm grasp of sentence syntax and argumentative structure. As a writer, I specialize in forms of biographical writing (which was the focus of my dissertation): job cover letters, statements of purpose for post-secondary programs, recommendation letters and character references. A main component of successful biographical writing is a personal touch, and I am available to discuss a client's background and skills over Zoom before embarking on a new project. I love copy-editing research because learning something new is such a joy. I take on beta-reading projects for historical fiction and fantasy at EXTREMELY reduced hourly rates for that very same reason -- because they are fun! I also revise training manuals, telemarketing scripts, and business documents. My portfolio contains some examples of my work, but since I cannot often share what I deliver to clients, I also offer potential clients a small sample (250 words) edit of their text. I charge sliding rates based on the level of service, i.e., proofreading costs less than line editing.

I enjoy supporting international clients and helping their plans and projects run smoothly. Living and working in Vancouver taught me a lot about different cultures and communication styles. I support global clients online (and in person when possible), making sure everything is taken care of and everyone feels supported. I've also worked as a JP⇄EN interpreter, translator, AI trainer, and blog writer. I'm always open to interesting projects. Finding solutions and creating positive experiences for people is what makes my day.

I have a PhD and have taught at several major research universities, served on thesis committees, and launched a program to support graduate students through their journeys. Now I'm happy to help you with your academic writing and to complete your thesis or dissertation. Arrange a free consultation to ask questions and find out how I can assist with: • Academic English, including proofreading to correct spelling, grammar and punctuation • Improving your AI-generated drafts to ensure authenticity and a voice that's your own • Complying with your university’s style guide (e.g., APA7, Chicago, Harvard, etc.) • Structuring your chapters, and ensuring there is narrative flow • Organizing your Literature Review • Designing your Methodology • Producing a Thematic Analysis and writing up your Results and Discussion In my role as an academic editor and writing coach, I work with two types of clients: 1. PhD and Master's degree students who need support in completing their thesis. 2. Researchers who need assistance with journal articles and reports for publication. Although there are many similarities in the work, since both require a strong knowledge of academic writing, understanding of scholarly standards, and commitment to excellence and rigor, there are some differences as outlined below. 1. PhD or Master's Students Completing a PhD or Master’s degree is difficult enough at the best of times. So, as well as editing manuscripts to meet the university's expectations, I also specialize in working with graduate students who have run into extra challenges along the way. I can help if you’re: • Lost and stuck because you don’t understand what your supervisor wants • Unclear about how to improve the structure or narrative flow of your thesis or dissertation • Not sure how to write a Literature Review • Conducting a specialized technical or medical Systematic Literature Review • Confused about why you need a Theoretical Framework (and what is that anyway??) • Wondering what to put into your Introduction, or Conclusion • Mixing up your Methodology with your Findings and Discussion • Recovering from an illness or a personal loss and need help re-engaging with your studies • Still at the proposal stage and trying to understand what's needed for a PhD or Master's 2. Researchers and Report Writers If you are an individual researchers, or a member of a research team, and are subject matter experts who need to present their findings to meet the highest standards. I can assist by: • Proofreading to improve the English so that the research is clearly explained • Editing documents to follow academic protocols for format and structure • Applying the style guide preferences (APA, Chicago, AMA, etc.) of particular scholarly journals • Ensuring that reports or proposals are written to suit the readership • Checking that articles and reports have the expected sections and subsections • Verifying that proposals to government agencies are comprehensive. Whether you are a student, a researcher or a faculty member, I invite you to find out more in a free 10-minute introductory Zoom Call. Ask questions, tell me more about your study, find out how I can help. Please check the positive feedback from my many satisfied clients, and then get in touch. I look forward to hearing from you.
