About
I am a writer who has written for newspaper, radio, magazine and online news outlets. I also have a PhD, and I am an expert in academic writing (ie. dissertations, personal statements etc). Not many people have the experience as a writer, an editor, and an academic. But, I do! I am fast and I charge a flat rate, so you know exactly what you are going to pay before the work starts. I charge based on the number of pages and the deadline. My prices also include additional rounds of edits. Having experience in both academia and writing can make a big difference. I am not a part of a business that just churns out edits that are not personalized. I have a ton of experience to back up what I do. This makes for a better product for you! I want to help people tell their story, and become better writers. I love to edit and I have more experience than most writing academic papers, personal statements, and feature articles. I know how to do it successfully.

I was very concerned about meeting my deadlines for my dissertation. Caitlin worked with me to proof chapters as I got them approved which helped me improve my writing as I progressed. My dissertation was accepted without any APA issues. Thank you!

Not only was Caitlin the first to respond to my project request, she was quick, knowledgable, professional, and provided more than just grammar checks. She gave effective and thorough constructive criticism - which is exactly what I needed when writing my personal statement for a research fellowship. Highly recommend!
