Writing Consultant, Editor, Academic Mentor (90+ prior clients)

Emma C.

Hi! I’m Emma, and I’m excited to collaborate on cover letters, college essays, personal statements, academic assignments, and writing projects of all kinds.

I earned my degree in English and American Literature Magna Cum Laude from Middlebury College and I have 8+ years of experience as a writing consultant and academic mentor at the college’s Center for Teaching, Learning, and Research, The Rock Point School, and ThinkTown Education.

Generally, my approach focuses first on structure, as I help you puzzle through the scope, scale, and organization of your project. Next, we’ll move on to technique, developing your unique voice while prioritizing clarity and concision. I can also adapt to your individual process and needs. I prefer meeting digitally in real time to encourage discussion and collaboration, but I can also provide feedback asynchronously if your schedule is tight.

I'm confident with projects in any discipline: I’ve consulted for semester-long courses in literature, philosophy, astrophysics, and education and individuals ranging from occupational therapists to creative coders. My client base also includes ESL students and folks with learning differences.

I take great joy in helping my clients polish their communication skills and gain confidence in their academic and creative abilities. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, costume design, log rolling, and fiber crafts. Please feel free to contact me with questions!
