| I can answer questions about English grammar, style, usage. I can also help a writer assess the development of an essay, its unity, concrete support of topics, introductions and conclusions. In addition, I can discuss "writing the research paper" in all aspects of its development. Finally, I can assist in development of creative writing assignments. I will not totally proofread and correct a paper, but I will point out areas of concern and ways a writer can discover weaknesses and how to correct them. | Available

| I can fully edit your work (two-page maximum length), or a portion of your piece, and recommend ways to improve your writing. I can offer synonyms to use instead of the same, boring words. I can provide definitions, and teach you the proper usage of most (if not all) forms of punctuation.
I cannot comment on the history of writing, or the various forms of writing (Calligraphy, etc.).
I love to write. I love to teach. So, this is a wonderfully perfect job for me!

| I can answer questions from wanting an opinion on stories, finding writing resources, needing help with grammar and proofreading. However, I will not proofread more than 5-7 sentences and no more than 4 paragraphs. I can not answer questions that deal with finding the right publisher, overcoming writer`s block.
