Personal statements & statements of purpose
Built around a real question or turning point in your work, not a list of qualities.
Services
Specialized Writing
Writing for needs that do not fit a standard label — statements of purpose, research statements, proposals and professional correspondence written for one specific reader.
Is this for you?
This service suits you if…
- You are applying for a fellowship, grant, scholarship or graduate programme.
- You need to write something important and cannot find the first sentence.
- Your need is unusual and you would rather describe it than choose a category.
What the work involves
Purposeful writing for important professional contexts that resist standard templates.
Research statements & proposals
Complex work explained clearly for reviewers outside your immediate field.
Professional correspondence
Letters that must be exactly right — resignations, introductions, responses and requests.

Investment
Agreed with Heather, in writing, before work begins.
No two records need the same amount of work, so there is no fixed price list. Once Heather has read what you send, he replies with the proposed scope and the investment for your project. Nothing starts until you have agreed it.
The work focuses on presenting experience, expertise and direction clearly. It does not extend into legal, recruitment, governance or investment advice.
Begin in writing
Tell Heather what you need.
You do not need the perfect terminology. Write what is happening and what you are working toward.
