"The level of expertise that Dra. Chang offers is incredible, but more so what I appreciate are the conversations that we have. Talking about everything from theoretical framework, to the structure of the paper, to some insecurities that I have about imposter syndrome and facing this really big project. I will continue to work with Dra. Chang with every academic project that I have going forward. Not just because of the high level of work that she does,
but it’s the friendship and the conversations that I really appreciate."
Developmental & Technical Editing
As a developmental editor, I see our working partnership as a true collaboration with the ultimate goal of helping you live and write with compassion, authenticity, and power. I want to help you transform the quality of your work and how you see yourself as a writer.
Writing Consultancy & Faculty Development
I will act as a writing consultant for your faculty, providing support for faculty writing projects including but not limited to articles, books, book proposals, book chapters, external grants, and external fellowships. Feedback and guidance is available for all stages of a project.
I am also happy to discuss customizable faculty development offerings such as writing retreats, faculty support groups, and wellness workshops.
Holistic Support Sessions
Academia can be a solitary and isolating endeavor, but it doesn't have to be that way. Whether you're grappling with a tough decision or require steady support and accountability, my holistic support services are designed to provide the confidential, one-on-one assistance you need.
Ghostwriting for Non-Academics
Think of me, your ghostwriter, as an all-in-one personal guide, writer, technical editor, and thought partner for your passion project(s). As a developmental editor and ghostwriter, my job is to help guide you in the writing development process and on your journey– I will meet you WHEREVER you are, no judgment, only support.
01
First, reach out to me and schedule your free discovery call, where we’ll discuss your needs and the number of hours that would be appropriate for your project.
02
Based on our conversation, I will create a custom proposal for you, and then you’ll sign your contract and take care of your invoice to make things official.
03
Our work together begins with a getting-to-know-you session, where we’ll set some goals and strategize how we’ll use your remaining hours. Some projects require more consultation hours, while others more asynchronous editing on my part.
04
As we approach the end of our time together, I will touch base to see how you’d like to use your remaining hours. It may be time to wrap things up, or you may decide to continue working together depending on your individual needs and goals.
Working with Dra. Chang was one of the highlights of writing my book. I found her feedback to be comprehensive, thoughtful, and supportive. The process can feel really isolating and lonely - it was really great to have someone who was able to be such a positive force in my writing project. I would definitely recommend her. Don’t hesitate! Go get that work done!

Dra. Chang has been instrumental in guiding me to be the professor I want to be. She sees potential in me that I know is there, but often times I struggle to articulate.

I’ve worked with Aurora a couple of times in the past, and each of those times have been transformational in terms of my thinking. Aurora helped me clarify my thinking around my manuscript, and transform what was essentially a hodgepodge of data and ideas, into a coherent manuscript that was accepted for publication.

YOU’RE in the RIGHT PLACE
My academic support services are for you, if:
You’re an academic looking for holistic writing support either for yourself or your faculty.
The isolation and pace of your academic life has become overwhelming and as a result, you are tired, frustrated, and/or deflated.
You are losing steam or simply know that solid support would up your academic game.
You’re realizing that your “I’ve got this on my own” approach is no longer sustainable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is your work with clients confidential?
It absolutely is. I understand the politics of academia firsthand, and so confidentiality is my top priority. I aim to foster a safe space of support.
Do you accept institutional funds?
Absolutely! At least half of my clients use institutional funds (grant funding, start-up funds, professional development funds) to pay for my services. Leave the institutional paperwork to me.
Do you have a sample of a client's writing?
Certainly! I invite you to visit the full portfolio of my client’s work here or view these samples with edits here and here. View Client Work.
Do you offer ghostwriting services?
Yes, I offer ghostwriting services for non-academics only. Contact me for more details.
Do you work with non-academics?
Yes! Reach out if you have a project in mind. Let's see if we're a good fit.
Do you offer payment plans?
While I do not offer payment plans, we can absolutely discuss your needs and how they relate to your budget during your free discovery call.
Do you work with clients whose first language is not English?
Absolutely! My first language is Spanish and I got my start in and found my love for editing when my mom went back to college in her 40s as a mother of six. I edited ALL of her papers and am proud to say we both graduated from college the same year. I've also worked with hundreds of non-native-speaking students, academics, and clients.
