The World's Tallest Writing Coach

I’ve done some academic paper proofing in the last year, as well as a few essays  here and there for people seeking to gain acceptance to graduate programs. Our latest client, Adam F., came to us needing a final set of eyes on his dissertation for a doctorate in philosophy from the City University of New York.

The subject? Nothing fancy, just a bit of light reading called “Automated Classification Argument Stance in Student Essays: A Linguistically Motivated Approach with an Application For Supporting Argument Summarization.”

Uh … gulp.

Now truth be told, once we got the basics down, it was a fascinating thing to read, even if large chunks of it did sail far over my head, and I used merriam-webster.com more in 10 hours than I probably have in 10 weeks.

The result, tremendous feedback from a really nice client who we hope to see again soon.
