If no selection is made, the coordinator will send your submission to advisor(s) in your field of study or to advisors/editors who provide the services you have requested. If you require copyediting and formatting, your submission may be rerouted to an affiliated network of academic editing specialists.
Please allow the consultants a few hours to respond if you sent your request before 5pm US eastern time. Allow a longer response time if you sent your request after U.S. business hours or during the weekend.
If you do not get a response within 3 hours (during business hours), please use the chat button or page the network coordinator at: 469-789-3030.

INDEXER
Madge Wallace is a professional freelance indexer. She creates indexes found at the back of nonfiction books. When an index is done according to generally accepted indexing standards, it performs flawlessly. The reader finds what he is looking for and doesn’t give the index a second thought. On the other hand, if the index is poorly done, the reader becomes frustrated and will likely move on to the next book. Worse yet, a nonfiction book published without an index may not be taken seriously by the publishing industry. In short, a good index enhances the value of a book to readers, reviewers, librarians, instructors, and researchers. It is a mark of a serious book.
Lynetta Campbell holds an M.S. in Mathematics, an M.S. in Management Science, a B.S. in Chemical Engineering.
Ms. Campbell worked twelve years in the Chemical Process Industry, during which time she participated in the design, construction, and start-up of projects in polystyrenics. However, it was her work in the implementation of statistical quality control programs that lead her to focus on data collection and analysis.
Ms. Campbell teaches mathematics and statistics. Her students write that “she explains things clearly and does not make anyone feel stupid for asking questions.” She is a CRLA-certified tutor who takes great pride in helping students come to “own” the mathematical knowledge necessary to succeed in their chosen fields.
She has assisted graduate students with their data analysis in fields as diverse as engineering, education, and public health. She can assist clients with their initial exploratory data analysis, usually with a graphical approach to viewing the data. She makes sure each client understands the basics, such as how to properly state the null and alternative hypotheses, and how to test for equivalence using procedures such as independent sample or paired sample t-tests. She routinely helps clients in the selection of the proper regression methods to employ, helping them to understand generalized linear models, logistic regression, and logit and loglinear models. Her ultimate goal is always that the client gains a full understanding of what the data has to say. In this manner, she has worked with clients whose data was highly qualitative, such as survey data, and she has assisted students with highly quantitative data involving modeling and forecasting. She is highly proficient with SPSS and R statistical software and programming languages.
