Hi, I am Dr. Alex Grant
Professor of research writing and case study consultant
300+ case studies guided
Peer reviewer
Working-Class Studies Association
I help students and teams write clear case studies that use real data. I teach research writing at a North American university and I coach small businesses and nonprofits. My style is plain language and solid evidence. No fluff.
I am an active member of the Working-Class Studies Association. I present on writing that tells real worker stories. I have served on a conference review group and I mentor first-gen students who write about labor and access to education. This work keeps me grounded in real life, not just theory.
My goal is simple. Give you step by step guidance, show clean examples, and explain the why behind each choice. I test my own advice in class and in client projects. If something does not work, I do not teach it.
