People/Companies to editor HSers English papers?? Suggestions?

[Stephanie/MO]

I signed up for Kolbe last year for specifically for the EES service so that I could get some help grading papers. (I am currently schooling 5 children again). But the EES service was a month or longer behind, returning papers.

So this summer, I hired a woman who used to work for Kolbe. She committed, but now will not answer my emails. My daughter has her first paper done and I guess I will grade it. BUT.....

Can anyone recommend a reliable, rather-strict, editing service? I don't want a curriculum (like WriteatHome) or someone who will grade only the Padewa way. I need more lengthy analysis than "great paper" or spelling mistake-line 3. I want a thorough going over and suggestions.

Any suggestions????

Blessings,
Stephanie

Well, JennifersLost on these boards edits. Haven't used her, but you could at least contact her.

offers writing mentors for high school students. It sounds like a great program from what i have read about it. you can go to the college website and it is listed under the area of getting high schoolers ready for college. Maybe that would be what you are looking for??

Hi Stephanie,

I do this type of thing locally. I grade papers, edit resumes and cover letters, edit papers for graduate students, tutor writing, and so forth. PM me if you are interested.

I've no personal experience with them but I've heard nothing but excellent things about Cindy Marsch of Writing Assessment Services (http://www.writingassessment.com/).

The research librarian at our public library helped us with our son's research paper. His college (local) also has people there during the day to help with papers, and public is allowed to use their library.

I have mentored high school students in writing and am currently tutoring three public-school students, and I homeschool. I would be willing to help your daughter long-distance for a reasonable rate. If you're interested, you can PM me and we can talk more about the possibility.
