I provide critical consulting services from the title through appendices.

I am a professional social science researcher, learning facilitator, and author wherein I use my skills and expertise to assist you in creating high-quality and ethical scholarly writing befitting a post-graduate student. When we are done, your work will be worthy of a doctorate title. I will guide you to develop an end product that meets current scientific methodology rigor and trustworthiness, highly ethical internal and external research review standards, and internationally recognized humanitarian standards for protecting human participants. I take the time to understand your research goals and provide personalized coaching and feedback every step of the way.


My services include: 


  • Premise, Prospectus, Proposal, Dissertation/Thesis, Dissemination, and beyond
  • Learning facilitation in structure, rigor, and style as we progress through your project.
  • Literature review, content, and methodology analysis and guidance
  • APA seventh edition (MLA, Chicago, etc. upon request *) 
  • Grammar, spelling, punctuation, and mechanics 
  • Flow, style, clarity, and scholarly voice 
  • Alignment with organizational guidelines/rubrics 
  • Considering the publisher's Form & Style (F&S) expectations 
  • In accordance with the entity's Internal Review Board (IRB) expectations 
  • Testing every source in the Reference List 


My process: 

As one of your learning facilitators, I will use various remote communication tools (Email, Zoom, telephone, text, or other communication platforms) to help you understand what is expected, why it is needed, how to achieve it, and various means of mastery. While I do edit, I am not an editor. I am a vital member of your Committee who is dedicated to helping you produce a study worthy of scholarly, scientific, governmental, and societal confidence.


You send me your document including comments from you, your committee, URL, F&S, IRB, and other reviewers. 

As I review your document, I will also address any feedback left by you, your committee, URL, F&S, IRB, and other reviewers. 

To ensure consistency, each time you send me a revised version, I will merge it into my master copy and send (or upload if using google.docs or onedrive) you the updated version from which you will continue to work. 

When the document is ready for submission, I will provide one clean copy. I can also provide one copy with all track change items reflecting all editing upon request.


My expectations:


I expect you to provide the guidelines/rubrics, F&S expectations, IRB requirements, and any other expected alignment/adherence tools. If I have to look them up myself or re-edit previously edited material due to missing guidance documents, I will assess additional fees accordingly.


ALWAYS leave track changes on. I provide feedback in-text, with comment bubbles in MS Word, and during conference sessions.

I expect you to address all comment bubbles using the reply feature within each bubble.

Upon satisfactorily addressing each comment, I will resolve that comment bubble; please do not resolve the comments yourself.

I expect the client to provide the full verifiable reference for each citation in the form of a working doi URL or a working link to the source document. Each one I have to look up will incur additional fees.


I expect to be paid for the entire finished document regardless of how much content you have on an individual page. For example, an abstract title page, abstract, main title page, dedication page, acknowledgment page, 2-page table of contents, 50-page document, 10-page reference list, and 3-pages of appendices equal 70 pages. I expect regular agreed-upon payments at least once per month.

 
My Fees: 

I guide you from the first title page through the last Appendix; in other words, every single page. I do not calculate my fees based upon your tuition or length of enrollment; I prefer to be paid based upon the actual progress we make. Because I base my fees on progress rather than credit hours, I use your final document in its entirety as the base for my fee calculations. Thus, my base fee is $20 per page; however, that can fluctuate depending on how much work various pages/sections need and any potential deviations you request along the way. While I prefer, Zelle, I accept several different payment methods according to what works best for you: Check, Money Order, PayPal, Zelle, Western Union, MoneyGram, Walmart pay, and I am open to trying other methods. Any service fees associated with a payment service will be added to your balance. I require 25% of the estimated final fee paid as earnest money before starting and regular payments as we progress. Should other members of your Committee, URR, IRB, F&S, or other reviewers send the document back for additional edits after I recommend submission, I will work with you to meet those expectations. 


*Styles other than APA 7th edition may incur an additional fee.

When I will begin: 

Once I receive your earnest funds and your document(s), I will add your name to the bottom of my active list. Typically, I work from that list in the order names are added, from the top of the list down. However, I sometimes move a document to the top of the list if it is (a) time-critical**, (b) a minor change or revision, or (c) a same-day response to a question I asked. When I send you my recommendations, I remove your name from my active list and add it to my pending list. When I receive a response from you, I move your name back onto the bottom of my active list. Thus, the quicker I receive responses from you, the more frequently your name is added to the 'queue'. In this manner, I serve each client equitably and equally on a continuous basis. 


I work over the weekend or on holidays upon request; however, doing such will incur additional fees.

**A desire to submit does not qualify as time-critical. I work with graduate students, graduates, and other scholars wherein most clients desire to submit their projects immediately.

I will keenly scrutinize every word, sentence, paragraph, page, chapter, and supplement in your document providing superior feedback and caring learning facilitation so that you may create your best possible work; work worthy of a scholar.
