All Services
These are the typical ways that I collaborate with clients to increase their work’s impact. Of course, every project is unique. So if you see something you like, please be in touch and we can discuss your vision and how to achieve it.
A thorough read-through of your book manuscript (or dissertation) to identify challenges in argument, evidence, structure, narrative, voice, and style, and provide clear direction in how to overcome them.
A deep engagement with your article or chapter in order to provide general feedback on argument, narrative, style etc., as well as more specific feedback about particular sections or elements.
An evaluation of your book proposal, highlighting the main aspects required in this specialized format of writing, tailoring the proposal to your target press(es), and focusing on a strong, clear argument and accessibility of language.
These specialized forms of writing can be tricky to perfect. I will provide insight on the standard format of such pieces of writing, as well as help you tailor your writing to the specific call, and improve clarity and persuasiveness.
There are times when academics want to break out of their fields and get involved in wide conversations about the things that matter - but writing for popular media is quite different than writing academic work. I’ll help you align your ideas to the format of your choosing.
Feedback on talks and lectures of both any nature that focuses on clarity of argument, narrative structure, evocative imagery, and crafting an oral presentation that speaks to your specific audience.
A run-through of any completed talk or lecture, to assess aspects of the performance that do and do not facilitate its effective delivery.
This service focuses on the visuals that accompany your talk. I will review them either independently or in conjunction with your delivery to assess the degree to which they support or detract from the effectiveness of your presentation and make clear recommendations for revision.
If you struggle with writing (and who doesn’t?), I’ll help you identify obstacles in your current process and strategize how to develop habits that will work for you.
To help you build an online presence and personal network that will serve as a launching pad for your work.
If you have questions about the business of academia, you’re not alone. Talking to colleagues and mentors can help, but they won’t always tell it to you straight. My candid inside perspective can help demystify publishing, hiring and the tenure process.
If you want to connect your ideas with bigger audiences through a TED talk, op ed, social media post, or by publishing in the popular press, I’ll help you learn the ropes.
TL;DR
If you’re not sure what kind of services you might need, or how Candor can support your work, get in touch. I’m happy to help.
