What Clients Say
My clients are doctoral students working through dissertations, faculty preparing for tenure review, and scholars at every career stage navigating high-stakes academic writing. They come to me to finish the dissertation, earn tenure, publish the article, and make the case for their own work with clarity and force. Here is how they describe our work together.
Faculty Tenure & Promotion
Faculty going up for tenure face a specific and underappreciated writing challenge: how to narrate a coherent scholarly identity across years of work, to an audience that does not share your subfield. These clients came to me after prior review processes had raised concerns, or because they knew the stakes were too high to leave the writing to chance.
"Rhiannon helped me understand what tenure review committees were looking for, and successfully narrate the "through-lines" across what my reviewers had previously erroneously named 'disparate areas of research'. I would not have achieved tenure and promotion without her."

"It was clear from the start that Rhiannon’s sharp analytical skills, keen attention to detail, and exceptional writing expertise set her apart. In addition to her extensive knowledge of higher education, she helped me align my experiences and achievements with the university's policies and expectations. Beyond that, her warmth, encouragement, and deep understanding of academic life made the whole process feel far less daunting. Rhiannon didn’t just strengthen my portfolio, she also boosted my confidence and helped me take the next step in my career. Her insights were absolutely invaluable—they helped me navigate the complexities of tenure and promotion processes in this current competitive academic landscape. Thanks to her guidance, I earned both tenure and promotion!"

Dissertation & Graduate Writing
Doctoral students are rarely taught dissertation writing as a genre — they're expected to absorb its conventions by reading finished products and responding to committee feedback. My work with graduate clients focuses on what that implicit training skips: how to structure an argument across chapters, how to position a literature review as intellectual intervention rather than summary, and how to write with a scholarly voice that signals command of the field.
"I worked very closely with Rhiannon over two years as she provided me with guidance and support in completing my dissertation. She helped me design chapters that incorporated my ideas clearly and coherently, with the reader in mind. She also consistently provided moral support to help me move forward when I felt stuck. Rhiannon was thoughtful to my needs as a learner and dissected my writing, allowing me to see the strengths of my work. She is a tireless educator who is eager to have every project meet the highest standard of excellence."
