Your writing coaches may not be content experts in your particular field. Their emphasis will focus on the clarity and persuasiveness of your writing. They will not be able to copy-edit your assignments for grammar or references. We are in the process of developing editing services in the near future. 

Please also remember that your writing coach will spend no more than 30 or 60 minutes providing feedback (depending on the kind of appointment booked). For larger assignments, consider submitting smaller sections at a time to receive more targeted feedback. Once you receive feedback on a particular section, you can then schedule your next appointment for another section of your assignment.
