How to Start Working

Email me, MJ Stafford, by clicking on the button at the bottom of this section.
In your email, briefly explain what you would like help with and anything else you would like to share that might help me to prepare.
Also, for best use of our time, focusing on one main element works best (i.e. thesis writing, topic brainstorm, subject-verb agreement, using quotation marks, etc.). Just something to keep in mind when you are thinking about what you would like help with first.
