What you really buy when you work with me

When you work with me, you will feel supported and scaffolded in your work and be able to concentrate on your ideas with less stress. Many people come to me at a point of exasperation or desperation, having tried to work on a project and feeling stuck or frustrated. Most people come to me because they want an editor. But what they end up getting is something they didn't know they needed: time with a researcher and mentor. My mentoring style could be described as scaffolding.

Scaffolding involves first learning about the person - their abilities, interests, tendencies, and emotions around their ideas - and building on that to help the person meet their goals or refine them. This is why I offer a 1-hour free consultation. It is essential to the mentoring process. In that hour, I deeply explore the issues the client is experiencing, and we decide together what course would best suit their professional needs. 

So what you really buy when you work with me is an expert mentor. I will provide intellectual therapy, access to a research brain, and a judgement-free zone for exploring your ideas and professional goals.
