About Scholars Write
Professional scholars often face obstacles to writing and publishing. Some obstacles call for developmental editing:
-
You wrote the perfect dissertation. But what’s next? How do you follow up with a publication?
-
You are new to academia and can’t get the phrase "publish or perish" out of your head. How do you move toward developing manuscripts?
-
You have several ideas for a paper but can’t decide which to select first. How do you focus on one?
-
You need to create coherence within your manuscript. How?
Some obstacles call for content editing:
-
You are writing in English as your second language and experiencing difficulty with the genre of academic English-language scholarship.
-
You have written and submitted a paper for publication but it has been soundly rejected.
