During this time, I edited hundreds of student papers and dozens of my colleagues' articles and chapters for submission. I am familiar with Chicago, MLA and APA citation styles, and I understand the importance of proper source attribution in non-fiction. I regularly edit scholarly articles and dissertations in preparation for submission. Unfortunately, the nature of such work prevents my providing samples of past projects, but my own work and some other genres of writing samples are available in my portfolio. I am more than willing to edit a small sample (250 words) of your text.

    My own writing style is crisp and simple. I believe in short sentences that get right to the point. I read English, French, Italian and Latin and have a firm grasp of sentence syntax and argumentative structure. I received a 790 (99th percentile) on the verbal component of the GRE in 2008. As a writer, I specialize in forms of biographical writing (which was the focus of my dissertation): job cover letters, statements of purpose for post-secondary programs, recommendation letters and character references. As an editor, I enjoy scholarly work that gives me the opportunity to learn new things and share others' findings with the world. I also offer writing coaching sessions for clients looking for a more one-on-one, collaborative service. For more information about these services, please visit https://heathersteinphd.com

    I am an avid reader of both fiction and non-fiction. While working on my debut novel, an adult-oriented Choose Your Own Adventure tale entitled Of Course It Was You, I also beta-read regularly. I am able to use my in-depth knowledge of the Middle Ages and historical writing skills to help fantasy authors, especially, with aspects of world-building.

    Regards,

    Dr. Heather Stein

      I had expected my final internship report to be easy to write, but with the deadline looming I found I didn't know where to start. Heather helped me figure out the requirements, asked me questions to find my answers, and typed up my responses before editing them into a final paper that I submitted less than 24 hrs after hiring her. Thanks!
