Advising Session Details

• Advising sessions involve brainstorming ideas and planning for your writing project. I meet with you virtually to discuss your ideas, review course materials, provide quick feedback, and prepare a writing plan.
• I help with struggles around starting or continuing to write, like feeling unsure of how to improve and feeling overwhelmed with tasks.
• Price includes my work in scheduling and preparing for our session, advising and note-taking during our session, and wrap-up notes after our session.

Feedback Session Details

• Feedback sessions include two phases: 1) written feedback in advance, and 2) discussion of the feedback.
• First, I read your project in advance and email you written feedback prior to our meeting. My written feedback consists of margin comments and an overall summary of my main impressions and suggestions for future writing. Then, we meet virtually to discuss the feedback and strategies for revision.
• Feedback sessions generally focus on big-picture concerns like clarity, organization, and logical flow of ideas, as well as any specific areas that you’d like me to focus on.
• Depending on the length of your draft and my availability, I am generally able to send you written comments in 3-7 days, and at least 1 day prior to our meeting.
• Price includes my work in scheduling and preparing for our session, reading and commenting on your draft in advance, advising and note-taking during our session, and wrap-up notes after our session.

About Me

The heart of my work is one-on-one individual consultations to discuss your writing at any stage of the process. As an experienced writing consultant, instructor, and mentor, I have over seven years of experience advising undergraduate students, graduate students, and working professionals. I specialize in helping writers in applying to college and graduate school, finishing dissertations, applying to academic/non-academic jobs, publishing papers, and succeeding across industries.

As a recent Ph.D., I am not your faculty advisor, your professional staff advisor, or your fellow student. During our consultations, I’m not interested in telling you what to write. Rather, I’m motivated to help you build better writing habits, give you relevant feedback based on what YOU want, and share strategies that you can use for future writing across diverse fields.

Having worked and studied across cultures and disciplines, I am proud of my interdisciplinary and international range. Writing is both deeply personal and social, and I would be happy to learn more about you and be part of your professional support network.

I speak Mandarin Chinese, Japanese, and English, and provide consultations using these languages.
