Editing & Coaching

Want to reach a broader and more popular audience?
Now you can – with a sharp and enthusiastic editorial coach and mentor. 

I’ve worked on thousands of published analyses and op-eds, as the managing editor of Good Authority (formerly TMC at the Washington Post), which brings political science research into public discussion … as the editorial coach for the Boston University Center for Antiracist Research, where academic research meets antiracist action … as a fellowship leader for the OpEd Project, where the mission is to change who writes history … and of course, as an individual coach. 

My clients’ work has appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, The American Prospect, The Boston Globe, Boston Review, EdWeek, The Emancipator, Forbes, The Nation, Washington Monthly, and beyond.  

Contact me for yourself … or sign me up to train and consult with the researchers and thinkers in your workplace, center, institute, department, or organization. 

I am continually amazed by your transformation of each article we work on. Your editing superpower is unbelievable.”
