Dear <<FIRST NAME>>,

Welcome to summer! A lot is going on in the world of scholarly writing and publishing, and I've curated a collection of links and resources to get you up to date.

In this email, you'll find three handy sections:

Opportunities to Accomplish Your Writing Projects
The Best of the Scholarly Web
Dispatches from the Tweed Blog

Enjoy—and keep on writing!

Opportunities to Accomplish Your Writing Projects

Upgrade that CV! Tweed's diagnostic service acts as a customized guide to reinvigorating your most important professional document—and at a low flat rate.
Figure out what to do with that stalled project. As your developmental editor, I assesses the current state of your book or article and provide concrete steps to move you forward.
Polish it up! You can't send off that manuscript without having a trained pair of eyes look it over. I'm a Chicago-educated copyeditor, and I'll find the inadvertent mistakes that detract from your argument.

The Best of the Scholarly Web

For maximum scholarly influence, become an expert in precisely 1.5 topics.
Should we be writing abstracts for our monographs?
Investing in your writing really pays off.
These days, productive academics have more outlets than ever, and we should be adapting our material.
Find dozens of novels about the academic life in this Chronicle article and its comments.
Are academic presses using scholars as free labor?

All of these links and many, many more are also available on Tweed's Twitter feed! I'd love you to follow me.

I'm
Katie Van Heest, PhD
founding editor of Tweed. An academic myself, I know the plight and promise of scholarly writers. I also earned a certificate in manuscript editing from the University of Chicago, where my instructors were the press editors most familiar with The Chicago Manual of Style.

I am a devoted resource for the writers with whom I work. My services are tailorable and my working style flexible so as to best meet the needs of your next academic writing project.

Every writer can benefit from another pair of eyes. Behind these spectacles, my eyes are sharply trained to help scholarly writers fine-tune their compositions.

Drop me a line to discuss the possibilities.
