This week’s episode is about what it takes to write a solid research paper. We thought this topic would be helpful to our listeners who are currently working on their term research papers and feeling a bit overwhelmed. While writing can be stressful and time-consuming, a well-thought out and detailed research, note-taking, and planning process can make writing much easier.

Today’s guest is Amanda Christie, academic writing coach and editor at PFAU Academic Writing. Amanda comes from a family of teachers and professors. She is no slouch herself. She has a BA (Hons) in Global Development and Gender Studies from Queen’s University, and has worked on research projects with the Ottawa Coalition to End Violence Against Women, Newcomer Women’s Services, and Singing Out. She also presented at several conferences throughout Ontario as coordinator for a youth drop-in centre, and has a real passion for the education of young adults, helping them to edit essays, improve assignments, enhance university applications, and polish up English as a second language skills. When Amanda isn’t working, she is volunteering, gardening, cooking, reading, playing board games, and travelling.
