For graduate students, academics, and professionals building a writing life in their field.
Writing at the graduate and professional level requires stamina, a tolerance for uncertainty, the ability to hold a large and complex argument in your head over months or years, and the capacity to keep returning to the page even when the work feels impossible. Most programs teach you what to write. Very few teach you how to sustain the practice of writing it.
We work with graduate students, emerging scholars, and professionals across disciplines who need a knowledgeable, experienced partner for the long arc of academic and professional writing. Our coaching is rigorous and relational — we read your work closely, push your thinking, and help you develop not just the piece in front of you but the writer behind it.
If you have been told that you think "too associatively," write "too imaginatively," or struggle in ways that feel structural rather than fixable — you may simply need strategies designed for how your mind actually works.
Long-term, individualized support for the full arc of dissertation or thesis writing — from proposal to defense. We work with you on argument development, chapter structure, scholarly voice, and the practical challenge of sustaining a large project over time.
Support for academics and nonprofit professionals developing grant proposals and funding applications. We help you find the right frame for your work, write compellingly for non-specialist reviewers, and build a proposal that makes a genuine case for your project.
Working with academics at any career stage to develop conference papers into articles, revise and resubmit, or develop new scholarly writing for peer-reviewed publication.
Specialized support for graduate students in interdisciplinary design programs whose writing demands bridge creative and analytical modes of thinking — and who often need a mentor who understands both.
Coaching specifically designed for graduate students and academics whose neurodivergence shapes how they work. We don't ask you to write like everyone else. We help you find the structures and strategies that work for your mind.
For professionals outside academia who want to write more clearly, more confidently, and more effectively — whether for publication, for their organization, or for their own developing practice.
We offer both short-term engagements — a single intensive session, feedback on a specific chapter or proposal — and long-term mentorship relationships that extend across a semester, a program, or a career stage. We work online and in person in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Every engagement begins with a conversation about where you are, what you're working on, and what kind of support will actually help. We don't offer one-size programs. We work with you.
