PENNY NEWBURY holds a Ph.D. in English with a concentration in critical theory, American and modern British literature, and cultural studies. Her dissertation was a published novel. She's taught literature, creative writing, feminist criticism and theory, poetry, and linguistics. One of her specialties is translating complex concepts into prose that's easy to understand, so that these ideas can be transformed into concrete projects.
During her tenure with this network she has worked primarily as a writing advisor for dissertation and thesis development as well as professional/academic journal article development. She works closely with clients who need to focus on thesis development and defense, reviewing the important yet paradoxically often-overlooked issues of the academic vs. lay audience, the writer’s plans for future publication/expansion of the document, and the presentation of a true thesis as opposed to a mere academic exercise
