A 650-700 word Op-Ed continues to carry the value it once did when it was physically printed "Opposite the Editorial Page." Opinion pieces such as this can increase your capacity to connect to the action-minded demographics of your audience, to influence public opinion, or clarify misinterpretations surrounding your expertise. This form of writing can be extremely beneficial for motivated activists, human rights groups, or social organizations because it allows you to highlight a potentially controversial or contested, aspect of your expertise. The Op-Ed offers a stage and spotlight for informed and passionate positions. Whether you are writing a critique about the Hungarian government cutting academic funds, calling awareness to the persecution of journalists in Latin America, or redirecting attention to an overlooked aspect of a current news story, an eloquently phrased Op-Ed can not only increase social consciousness for your position but sway the public in your favor. Essentially, opinion pieces of this nature create a space where a more personal connection between the activist and the people becomes possible. As mentioned, while most Op-Eds run about 650-700 words, their word count varies per journal. The Wall Street Journal, for example, has a 1,000-word limit, the Washington Post has an 800-word limit, and the New York Times will accept high-quality writing within a 400-1,200 word limit. Be sure to let me know which journal you will be submitting to when you make your inquiry! Likewise, on the "Client Requirements Page," I've listed the additional information which I will need from you in order to write your Op-Ed with due diligence.

Special Feature articles transcend the past and present worlds of journalism, and for this reason, it happens to be my favorite medium of reporting-styled writing. The form follows the traditional ethics and ethos of classical journalism wherein the content is vigorously investigated. However, the extreme finesse required to present such stories blends creative nonfiction with narrative journalism. On some levels, these approximately 3,000-word articles live somewhere between "long-form journalism" and "short-form ethnographic writing." The growing body of popular digital journals such as "Longform," "Longreads," "ProPublica," "The Atlantic," "Guernica Magazine," "The New York Times Magazine," "The Cut," "Pacific Standard," "Southerly," "Narratively," and others indicate that the social appetite for these informative yet personal pieces is also increasing. The most successful features can weave a sensitive narrative between politically charged content, and do so while leaving the reader "satisfied' in some way. Unlike a quit-spit news story, a special feature will never stop coldly and abruptly. Further, there is an aspect of honesty and justice that can breathe within a Special Feature Article in ways that it may be restricted in more time-restricted or superficial mediums.

Let me guess... young professional on the rise with a mounting resume composed of unpaid internships and residencies? You are not alone! Luckily for you, you are just one research grant or fellowship away from getting accepted into your dream program or job. Whether you want to WOW your application and admission committees with your flawless English, clarify complex research, or articulate your aspirations, look no further. Take a step closer to the future you've been fantasizing about. As a writer, student, and junior researcher myself, I know firsthand just how difficult it can be to find funding sources. One can take extra jobs and double shifts, but sometimes an intensive project demands external support to make it happen. Many of my global endeavors have been made possible by the sheer grace of grant essays (including a fully funded internship in Dushanbe, Tajikistan and intensive Turkish language instruction in Istanbul, Turkey to give a few examples). This success is something that I would like to share with you as well, and while I cannot guarantee acceptance, I can promise that you're grant application will be in its most polished form giving your project or proposal the best possible chance of receiving assistance. This product price includes a single essay per grant, and half off a second essay if it is demanded by the application portal. This will allow your proposal to maintain the same voice throughout for a slightly discounted price. However, delivery time fluctuates according to urgency and complexity. If an extreme rush is needed, discounts are voided and a rush fee of $20 will be added to the total.

An M.A. Thesis, edited according to international industry standards, can cost a working-student up to 600 USD per every 10,000 words (approximately 20 pages single-spaced). This is largely due to the technical complexity of the material contained within the manuscripts, and the future value tied to this document. Not only is the M.A. thesis (in many ways) a reflection of the legitimacy of one's degree, publishing this manuscript can become the entry point for jobs of a significantly higher starting paygrade. The average M.A. thesis runs approximately 40-80 pages, thus fees can notoriously cost upwards of $750-1,800 USD. Further still, the copy editing PhD. thesis can cost between $1,80- $3,600 USD. I feel that both of these quotes are exorbitant, particularly since this is a burden shouldered by students who have already managed to put themselves through school, to manage their rent, and successfully navigate all of the other hurdles that "adulting" requires. For this reason, I charge the flat rate indicated above. Please note, exceptionally technical content and/or manuscripts that exceed 80 pages may incur additional fees. However, IF YOU RESIDE OUTSIDE NORTH AMERICA OR EUROPE, DISCOUNTS MAY APPLY. (Please contact me for details). My goal is for you is that you have a publish-worthy manuscript that you can use to further your career.
