I'm the founder of Strategic Writing Consulting, where I support tenure-track scholars and doctoral students with high-stakes academic writing projects.

As a tenured university professor with a Ph.D from the University of Pennsylvania and a master's from a top-ten global university, I offer insider expertise grounded in decades of experience in teaching, mentoring, and publishing.

My consulting is personalized and strategic—helping clients build tenure portfolios, complete doctoral dissertations, and get published with clarity and confidence.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

 ANONYMOUS, Ph.D.

Earned Tenure & Promotion 
at Binghamton University

"Rhiannon helped me understand what tenure review committees were looking for, and successfully narrate the "through-lines" across what my reviewers had previously named 'disparate areas of research'. I would not have achieved tenure and promotion without her."

DEBORAH STANBURY, M.Div, Th.M.

Earned Master of Divinity
at University of Toronto

"[Rhiannon] has a remarkable ability to demystify academic writing. When writer's block or overwhelm struck, her concrete advice and unwavering encouragement were exactly what I needed to keep going."

MONICA BENTON PALMER, Ed.D.

Earned Doctorate of Education 
at University of Pennsylvania

"Rhiannon helped me design [dissertation] chapters that incorporated my ideas clearly and coherently, and reflected a better organization… [She] provided me with moral support to help me move forward when I felt stuck."
