关于我们

Wordsmith Writing Coaches serve undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral students who struggle with academic writing, especially when English is a second language. We also tutor high-school students, to sharpen their reading and writing skills for the SAT and higher education. Wordsmith coaches are happy to work with you online, meet in any public setting, or meet us at our office to take advantage of our A/C and 18-foot-long whiteboard. We also offer seminars and workshops for academic writing and academic reading: The Academic Reading Seminar synthesized the best ideas of Mortimer Adler and J. Robert Clinton into a uniquely helpful array of strategies and tools we call "Three Dimensional Reading." It will dramatically improve your ability to read like a scholar: efficiently, effectively, wisely. Leave behind forever the tendency to read like a mere student: reading casually not strategically, reading only what seems necessary in the moment, forgetting much of it, then cramming in a panic to write a paper or pass a test. Instead, discover and equip your inner scholar! The Academic Writing Seminar combines the modern PDREP approach with ancient insights from the Trivium, the classical canons of rhetoric, and decades of personal experience. You will learn where every academic writing assignment actually must begin, when to begin it in earnest, how to overcome every obstacle and pitfall of the writing process, and neglected key elements that every professor hopes to see in every written assignment. The Academic Writing Seminar will help you approach every writing task with confidence. Wordsmith Seminars come in three sizes: ? Introductory: two hours, $100 per person, all the content with just a dash of practice. ? Exploratory: four hours, $180, time to practice each skill with some feedback too. ? Mastery: six hours, $250, an intensive workshop to develop all the skills and personalize the strategies to your own strengths, weaknesses, and context.

  • Thanks, Erik, for sharing this and bringing Ian to my attention! Fiction authors and screenwriters: this is a fascinating "meta-beat-sheet" thing that any fiction writer or storyteller might enjoy, and maybe find helpful ...at least if you're into story structure or story theory. If you're allergic to that sort of thing, definitely do not click on the link to this post. As for me, I'll print it out when I can and meditate happily on it for an hour at least. ;-)

    Turns out a narrative chart that I made for fun has been shared around without credit. I'd be flattered, but they're sharing around the old, ugly version of the chart with a glaring typo in... SO for once in my little life, I'm going to make a LinkedIn post just to share the much prettier version of this thing I did PDF here: https://lnkd.in/ePkvbiw9 P.S. I should say, this isn't me pushing the idea that the only way to write a good story is to follow one of these narrative structures. The reason that I made the chart is a) I'm a real sucker for these kinds of things, and b) to show that there ARE NO rules. There is only an end goal: a great story. Scholars and charts like this one can help get you there, but they're far from the only way.
