Writing & Dissertation Consultation
Writing Consultation
I provide one-on-one writing consultations for writers struggling with writer's block and/or organizational and time management issues, and for aspiring writers seeking publication. I help clients address their anxiety and quiet their inner critic so they can write more freely and productively.
My experience includes working with writers in all disciplines, including the arts, sciences, and humanities. I offer practical strategies for becoming unstuck in your writing, finding your voice, and carving out time and space in your life to get your writing done.
“Dr. Starr, I wanted to let you know that my book was approved with no major revisions! I was thinking about how much you helped me last summer and wanted to thank you again!”
Dissertation Consultation
For doctoral students struggling to complete the dissertation, I conduct dissertation consultations across diverse fields in the arts, sciences, and humanities. I meet with students for one-on-one, in-depth consultations tailored to their specific needs. I can help you sharpen your argument, improve your conceptualization and organization, deal with a difficult or unresponsive advisor, and develop work habits and a work schedule that fits into your life.
I can help you address the various psychological issues that may arise when you dedicate yourself to working on a long-term project that is meaningful to you and whose completion means moving on to a new phase in life. In addition to in-person consultations, I also consult with students by phone and email, and have worked with doctoral students from around the country.
