If you write, you are familiar with the Black Dog, for it stalks all writers and disrupts their writing projects, including:

• dissertations and thesis
• technical reports and instructions
• proposals and grant writing
• essays and articles
• novels and short stories
• creative non-fiction and memoir
• screenplays and poetry
• blog entries and web site copy

The black dog’s attack creates confusion, dejection and panic. It bogs you down and spaces you out. It can bite you with:

• writer’s block
• a messy draft you can’t figure out how to reorganize
• a morass of resource citation and footnoting
• a novel or book that needs in-depth critique/editing
• a lack of focus in how to properly proofread

As an English Professor with 25 years of writing and teaching experience, I know how difficult it is for writers to tame the Black Dog. I am here to help you leash this beast so you can produce a piece of writing that shows your confidence and poise. Please review my resume and note the extensive experience I have with academic writing, creating writing and ESL instruction. I have also provided a copy editing sample for you to review.
