Combined with one-on-one coaching meetings that help you identify concrete strategies to tackle whatever challenges you most about writing, Directed Draft is designed to help you set—and meet—ambitious but achievable writing goals. 

Our next session starts in January, 2026. Register today!

When you encounter issues like this during a group writing session, we will meet you in a breakout room to quickly troubleshoot whatever is getting in your way, aiming to have you back to writing—with new momentum—in just a few minutes.

Getting sucked into a lit review rabbit hole, but not sure how to dig your way out? We can help! Feeling uncertain about the best way to frame your critique of other scholarship? We can help! Rewriting your intro over and over instead of digging into the body of your article? We can help!

@karendewartmcewen.bsky.social and I are developmental editors and writing coaches who specialize in tailored support for scholars at all stages of their careers. In our group sessions, we don't just tell you when to start and stop writing—we are available for on-the-spot writing support.

I run DD with another freelance editor/writing coach
, @karendewartmcewen.bsky.social. We are ready and able to support writers from #envhum, #envhist, anthropology, #sts, gender studies, interdisciplinary fields, and more!

Hey @juliegregorio.bsky.social — do you have a website or other form of contact I can direct people to?

I sometimes move things from Word into Scrivener to do major dev edit structural work! Then it goes back into Word for cleanup.

The Uni presses are finding their way...
@dukepress.bsky.social, @uncpress.bsky.social, @uminnpress.bsky.social, @ucpress.bsky.social and probably others!
