Melissa J. Webb: Writing Services

Introduction: I hold a Master's degree in English Literature & Language from Rutgers-University. I will work with you on most any type of writing project (novel manuscripts, thesis-writing, smaller essays, book proposals, admissions essays, blog/web content, reports, etc). I'll do basic editing, write portions of your project, give you in-depth feedback and suggestions; I'll conduct outside research if necessary. How much I assist you is all up to you. I put the utmost dedication into every writing project I work on and believe that writing is best when it's a collaborative process. My experience: I've served as a Freelance Writing Assistant for two years and have worked on a variety of projects including the creation of a book proposal for a nonfiction study of African Americans settling the Western frontier and the proofreading/content-editing of a young-adult fiction novel. I also currently serve as an Editorial Assistant for Film International Magazine, where I proofread and edit content of article submissions. In addition, I write my own pieces for both the online-blog and printed-edition of the journal, while also co-authoring pieces with ESL contributors. FI is a bimonthly academic journal focusing on Film Studies. I have ample experience in writing&editing, working directly with clients to meet their goals. I am timely and efficient, and assure all clients that their projects will be completed within the deadline specified. I am also easy to get in contact with and quick to respond to emails. I make it my priority to be available for you, to take your work seriously, and I pride myself on my close attention to detail. (And as a bonus, I'm affordable! I will negotiate pricing based on how much you can afford, because I understand that writing isn't always immediately lucrative.) I went to school for English specifically because it is a field that has allowed to me to explore so many different perspectives and to hear so many voices. I believe in the power of the written word: writing can demonstrate how people are impacted by their historical and political moments in time like no other medium. Reading and writing are tools to exchange ideas, to communicate with others, and to bridge gaps between people with vastly different life experiences. Writing is the primary way I express myself and I believe it gives anyone who can do it effectively the means by which to get their ideas out into society, to start vital dialogues. This means I take every writing project with every client very seriously and will work to ensure it is of the highest quality, focusing both on what you are trying to communicate and who your audience is. Writing is a challenge and an art-form! It matters deeply to me and I am excited to work on as many different types of projects as possible.
