"I met with Mandi for a consultation on a dissertation abstract for an audience of academics from a number of fields. This was for an application for an award.
Mandi helped me identify areas of my writing that actually worked while helping me see other areas of the abstract that weren't communicating what I wanted. Her feedback was invaluable because it was precise, actionable, and achievable.
Those of us who have written dissertations largely alone--perhaps without much, or any, written feedback--know just how valuable the service Mandi provides actually is.
Mandi also boosted my confidence and helped me feel good about the content of my work. I can't emphasize enough how awesome Mandi's energy is--this, paired with her eagle-eyed assessment of my academic writing made for a one-hour session that flew by because it was fun and productive.
I came away knowing exactly what I wanted to revise and feeling good about specific portions that she highlighted as strong.
Sometimes, graduate students and early-career professors have a hard time asking for help, but I left our consultation ready to book her again, especially since I will soon be hearing back from a couple of academic journals that are reviewing my articles."
"Mandi is an incredible writing consultant. I came to her for help on my doctoral dissertation, and she delivered clear, actionable feedback that helped take my writing to the next level.
Likewise, Mandi’s feedback on my résumé helped turn it into a document I am proud to share with employers.
Her deep familiarity with writing conventions is matched only by her passion to help writers craft the best version of their work. I highly recommend her for your editing needs!"
"When I stepped into my first novel planning session with Mandi, I was less hopeful about my own project than I would have liked. However, with Mandi’s help, I was able to step into a place of revitalized creative curiosity and truly begin work on my novel.
By utilizing an efficient outlining strategy and sharing her genuine enthusiasm for my project, Mandi was able to bring the formless concepts floating around in my head down to earth.
In just thirty minutes, Mandi had helped me create an attainable action plan for conquering my novel’s composition process. Just like that, what once seemed impossible was suddenly within my grasp.
Mandi has a unique talent of listening deeply, learning quickly, and then formulating a strategy for tackling any roadblocks in a writer’s path.
I am so grateful that I scheduled that first planning session with Mandi; now, I am well into the novel planning process and am looking forward to my next novel-editing appointments."
"As a writer, I have several projects going at once and am often living in varying stages of frustration on each of them. One project is a fictionalized academic discourse on my experiences teaching. Another is a proposal that I need to send to a publishing company to consider printing the book. I am also working on my dissertation.
Over the course of a semester, I scheduled several consultations with Mandi, and she helped me with every stage of the writing process from brainstorming ways to organize my writing to finding the areas I needed to revise and edit for clarity and concision.
Mandi is knowledgeable about all areas of writing, experienced in consulting with writers, and instantly put me at ease. I'm looking forward to working with her in the future as I continue working on my projects."
