Balanced Prose Communications

We help people who struggle to write well in academic and workplace contexts so they can feel more confident, be more effective, and achieve their goals. 

If you're in post-secondary, about to start, or even just thinking about it, we can help you overcome your doubts and work with you to strengthen what you already know so you are successful in your program. 

If you find yourself having to write for your job, and find it hard, or you don't get the results you want, or you've received feedback that your writing is not as effective as it could be, we can work with you to target the weakest areas and give you tools you can apply when faced with any writing situation.

Have questions? Just curious about how we can help you?

[Candice provided] amazing guidance as I worked through my MBA journey.... I came into my academic program without an undergrad ...[so] I did not have any experience with academic writing. With [Candice's] guidance and continual encouragement, I was able to go from a B average writing level to consistently achieving A+ on my individual papers. [Candice] set aggressive but achievable timelines for me in order to complete my thesis well in advance of the deadline...[and took] the time to allow me to talk through each deliverable so that I was able to ensure that I met each expectation of the assignment.

Candice helped me make sense of a tangled manuscript that I wanted to present to a publisher. With clear comments and helpful suggestions, she encouraged me to make significant structural changes to improve the chronology of my story [and her] editorial suggestions ... were [not] overwhelming for she picked out the most glaring errors, understanding that I would be writing a later draft. Even though I am a professional writer, Candice's feedback helped me to feel more confident about my writing because I knew the manuscript had passed the scrutiny of another set of experienced eyes.

Writing Coach

For my whole life, I've loved words. When I first learned to read, I saw their magic and when I realized I could use words to create magic myself, I was hooked. I also saw the power and freedom that communicating well can bring, and helping others learn to use words to express their ideas so they can feel confident, free and strong has become a passion of mine. 

From teaching ESL, to writing competencies and training guides, to teaching academic and technical writing, to coaching mid-career professionals navigate succeed in their academic programs, I have two decades of writing and instructional experience that I bring to help clients like you build on what you already know so that you can communicate successfully in the academic or workplace context. My approach is practical, results-oriented, and grounded in the writing process. My goal is to build your confidence, help you free your ideas, and achieve your goals.
