Editing Services

Manuscript reveiw

I create a customized editorial letter for you reviewing the strengths of your manuscript and outlining how to improve it.


Editing services are also available to help implement changes. 


This service is appropriate for almost any stage of the writing process, and can be repeated at various stages. 

GRANT or Book Proposal REview

I review your proposal for its strengths and weaknesses and offer suggestions for how to improve it. 


Editing services are also available to help implement changes.

Developmental Editing

I help you get it polished and ready to submit. 


This service is appropriate if you feel stuck, work better with support, or need to meet a deadline. 

Special Projects

I work with organizations on their projects. We get them clarified, polished, and ready to share with their stakeholders. 



Coaching and Workshops

Private Coaching Sessions

One-on-one coaching sessions customized for you, your project, and your goals. Includes short check-in emails.  

Custom Workshops

Workshops I've custom-created and run include a primer on grants, fellowships and residencies; a series of workshops on journaling for creative productivity; mentorship workshops; workshops for academic and writing concerns; and podcasting 101. I'd be pleased create a custom workshop for you and your group.

Dissertation coaching

One-on-one coaching time to help you manage your timeline to graduation, as well as your research and writing. We can work through challenges, talk about things like how to implement your advisor's feedback or how to approach a potential publisher, and we can review your grant or job application materials together before you send them out. Group sessions are also available for cohorts. 

ACCountability check-ins

Customized weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly email check-ins to keep you on track. 


What's Your Story

What's your story?

I started the Academic Life podcast and grew that into the new Academic Life Lab, because I believe that learning happens best in a supportive community. 


Despite what anyone may have told you: 

You belong. You matter.  You have something worth saying. 


There is no such thing as a meritocracy. If someone is having an easier time managing their writing projects, then they have more resources available to them than you do. 


If you'd like my help with your writing project, please reach out. You'll find a contact form under the "contact" tab up above. Or email me directly at christina(at)christinagessler(dot)com
