Highlights: J&B worked with the client on preparing a 1,000-word article for the Harvard International Review (HIR) addressing Theme A: “Inequalities in a VUCA World.” J&B split the project into a brainstorming session, topic selection phase, lecture, seminar, outlining step, draft writing, editing, and polishing. J&B assisted the client with clarifying key concepts and ideas, conducting scholarly research, and incorporating analyses of sources into their article. The Topic: J&B worked with the client on preparing a 1,000-word article for the Harvard International Review addressing Theme A: “Inequalities in a VUCA World.” The Process: At the start of the project, J&B met with the client to brainstorm potential topics and themes for HIR. After gathering the client’s unique insights, J&B prepared three potential topics for the client based on their interests, all of which were competitive topics for HIR. After the client selected the topic that interested them the most, the team gave a 40-minute lecture and shared 10 scholarly sources related to the client’s topic to provide them with concrete background information. J&B then met with the client for a seminar to discuss the readings in detail. Next, J&B prepared a detailed, 3-page outline for the client complete with references, to help them write their first draft. The client utilized J&B’s outline to create their first draft, which the team edited and returned to the client with specific guidance. During this step, the client requested help finding additional sources to incorporate into their second draft, which J&B shared with the client. After carefully reviewing and editing the client’s second draft, J&B provided final edits so that the draft would be ready to submit to HIR. The team also evaluated the client’s writing throughout the project to help them identify their strengths/weaknesses as a writer. Writing Style: The client is a concept-driven writer passionate about environmental issues. To ensure that the client’s draft addressed their topic from a unique focus and presented a creative solution, J&B assisted the client with clarifying key concepts and ideas, conducting scholarly research, and incorporating analyses of sources into their article. J&B’s Key Goals: Scholarly research Organization Clarity Creativity
