Finish Your Scholarly or Professional Project with Clarity, Authority, and Momentum
Whether you’re developing a dissertation into a book, drafting a book proposal, assembling a faculty portfolio, or preparing a high-stakes presentation, your work will be read and evaluated under institutional expectations, timelines, and constraints.
Our role is to ensure your materials are legible, coherent, and strategically framed for those evaluative contexts.
We offer two ways to work together, depending on the scope and stage of your project.
Diagnostic Reviews
For scholars seeking focused, expert evaluation of how their materials are likely to be interpreted in high-stakes review contexts, we offer bounded diagnostic reviews.
These reviews are designed to surface structural, narrative, and alignment issues that often remain invisible to authors embedded in their work.
Available Diagnostic Reviews
Faculty Portfolio Diagnostic Review
A structured evaluation of a promotion or review portfolio, with attention to narrative coherence, clarity of contribution, and institutional alignment.Book Proposal Diagnostic Review
A focused assessment of a book proposal’s conceptual framing, structure, and positioning for editors, reviewers, and evaluative committees.
Each diagnostic includes written feedback identifying strengths, risks, and priority areas for revision.
