CoDaC’s writing consultations provide support to graduate students, faculty, and staff in two broad areas:
1. OurWriting Coach works with clients to rethink, reshape, and improve their writing practice, which is to say, their writing lives — their daily engagement with the activities of writing and thinking and how those two fundamental activities come together on the written page. He has broad expertise in aiding writers with common “ailments” like:
Procrastination
Writer’s block
Binge writing
Imposter syndrome
Self-sabotage
Confidence deficits
Writing fears — rejection, excess difficulty, obscurity, or obsolescence
Low energy and/or productivity
Lack of space and time
Insufficient writing support at home
Accountability
2. CoDaC's Developmental Editor aids writers with the content of their research writing and projects — whether on an article, book chapter, monograph, book proposal, grant application, or job search materials. Not only does he provide commenting on drafts, but he also aids in:
Project conception and articulation
Argument creation and cultivation
Outlining and drafting
Revision and refinement
Mechanical issues — diction, grammar, syntax, and structure
Tone, flow, and effectiveness
