Coaching & Editing

Your writing has power. It can mobilize resources for a cause you believe in, drive a critical decision, or fundamentally change another person’s perspective.

But writing well is hard. To deliver a powerful message, you need to develop powerful ideas and translate them into clear, compelling English.

That’s where Pennington Writing comes in. When you have an important message to share, I help you plan and polish it to ensure your writing leaves a lasting impression. Whether you’re working on a grant proposal, dissertation, thesis, or report, I provide personalized support for any stage of your writing process:

  • coaching to help you develop a plan for your work

  • structural editing to help you organize your thoughts

  • copyediting to make sure your text is readable for your audience

  • proofreading to polish near-final products

Allison considered how the audience would understand and react to my report and left me with thoughtful comments and questions that added value to my work. She did a wonderful job of catching grammatical errors as well as contradictions in content. I highly recommend her!
