I'm seeking an experienced freelance journalist, long-form writer, or narrative nonfiction editor to help develop a serious first-person article about my experience in a graduate professional training program. The article concerns graduate education, classroom culture, cohort culture, cohort conflict, student mental health, and institutional accountability. I have a detailed draft, timeline, written correspondence, program materials, and other supporting documentation. The goal is to turn this into a compelling,k carefully structured, factually grounded public-facing article that is emotionally powerful without being sensationalized. The ideal writer should have experience with long-form journalism, higher education, psychology or mental health, institutional accountability, or sensitive personal narratives. The piece will need to balance narrative force with fairness, legal caution, careful attribution, and respect for privacy. I am looking for someone who can help shape the story into a polished article suitable for publication, independent publication, or submission to an outlet.

SOME STORIES DESERVE TO BE TOLD NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE CONTROVERSIAL, BUT BECAUSE THEY REVEAL TRUTHS THAT OTHERS STRUGGLE TO PUT INTO WORDS.
