The Newest Endeavor for Dr. Lyn Walden
​As many of you know, I have reduced my workload. However, I am still working, still writing, and still trying my best to meet the needs of students from 5 to 95. I now offer reading and writing help to students from K-12 and the first 4 years of college, grad students, and PhD candidates. I teach how to read and write (for the young ones) and how to write better for the older students. I also offer ghost and freelance writing services and revising and editing services for the older students. I have looked into rates charged by my competitors and have kept my fees more reasonable. 
​I am excited about this new adventure, so please share this information.

Of course, I still help PhD candidates and offer, at no charge, one hour of consulting for all new callers.
I only accept one or two candidates at a time, so contact me today.

​“There are three rules for writing a novel.  
Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.” 
(W. Somerset Maugham)

I will add: a myriad of rules exist for writing a dissertation.  
Unfortunately, no one agrees on what they are.
