Meet the Coach
Julia Smith
PhD in English, Writing Studies
Writing Coach
Your Communication Strategist and Coach for busy Professionals
Dr. Julia Smith has a 20+ year career teaching, coaching, and supporting individuals as they learn how to communicate more persuasively. She has been teaching technical, academic, and business writing for over 20 years and approaches her coaching from this perspective. Rather than just edit your text, Dr. Smith reviews your work to help you speak more clearly, persuasively, and directly to your target audience. With Dr. Smith you have a supportive writing partner, who will help you strategize your work, celebrate your successes, and manage your project risks. In this process learn more about yourself as a writer and build your efficacy around communication, writing, and completing large scale projects as an individual.
For Busy Professionals
Find a Coach
In a professional context, you have invested enormous amounts of time, effort, and money into your work. Now, you want to complete a major project, which will further propel and shape your career -- like writing a thesis or a proposal. Even if writing is your strength, completing a large writing project on your own can be daunting.
How To Write Better
You need a writing coach if you answer yes to any of the following questions:
Writing Support
Major Writing Projects– any written project that impacts your career - require careful planning, resource management, time management, and writing strategies.
A GREAT PROJECT IS A COMPLETED PROJECT
HELP FROM YOUR PERSONAL WRITING INSTRUCTOR
Even when we are skilled writers and communications, we need a mentor, guide, or coach to help us complete a major project. Explore the different support levels to determine what support you need.
TO LOOK AGAIN
(Re)vision
Did you know that even the most skilled and perfectionist writer has another person read important materials?
Our minds can autocorrect or skip errors, because we are the most familiar with what we have written. If you are using AI, the grammar suggestions might undermine your writing style and voice or not speak to your audience effectively.
ONE ON ONE INSTRUCTION
Writing as a Process
Did you know that you can get help for any stage of the writing process?
We tend to think about writing as a product or outcome, but really it envolves a complex process that involves a number of major decision points. Regardless of where you are in this process, a writing consultation can help move you forward, give you insights, and help you gain the strategies to troubleshoot your own process.
GET IT DONE
Sprint to Success
Did you know writing is not a solitary endeavor?
All successful large scale writing endeavors including articles, dissertations, and proposals have a writer and an editor, coach mentor, or advisor who helps the writer manage through the writing process. Reach out to learn more!
