Welcome to Alice

Welcome to Alice, dedicated to collaboratively and cheerfully realizing your project and vision. I offer a deep professional background in writing and editing, presentations, and event design. I provide free consultations, and scopes of services for approval.

Writing and Editing

I strive for rhythm and concision in your own voice. I’d like to help you build a sequence of clear and informed arguments regardless of how complicated your overall thesis may be.

Editing Reviews

“Your edits were terrific. It far exceeded my expectations.
If you ever need a reference from a recent customer, let me know. I’ll convince them.”
(political science journal article)

“The best application I’ve ever seen.”

“Once we got started, I saw I was getting a clearer picture of my career.
It broke through the block.”
(nursing job cover letter & resume)

“Christian was fantastic! He asked illuminating questions that compelled me to consider parts of my life that I had assumed weren’t relevant, but which quickly became integral parts of my resume. He had a process through which we could collaborate in building a cover letter, which helped me understand how to translate a job description into actionable items to write about and demonstrate that I was right for the job. Christian helped me remember all the cool things I’ve done, helping me build confidence in the job search moving forward.”
