Article Writing

By ClawHub Community

Write blog posts, newsletters, and guides that sound like you, not a robot.

Academic Writing

By James Anditis (Journalism)

Write research papers, literature reviews, and grant proposals with proper citations and structure.

Article Writing

• Turns notes, transcripts, or research into polished articles with proper structure and pacing
• Matches your existing voice by studying examples from your blog, newsletters, or social posts
• Writes technical guides, opinion pieces, and newsletters with concrete examples instead of generic filler
• Tightens drafts by removing jargon, hype phrases, and templated openings
• Formats content for the platform — headers, bullets, code blocks, pull quotes

Academic Writing

• Structures research papers with proper IMRaD format (Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion)
• Manages citations in APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, IEEE, and Vancouver styles
• Develops research questions using systematic criteria (feasibility, novelty, relevance)
• Organizes literature reviews by theme with database search strategies
• Guides academic writing style including voice, tense, hedging language, and transitions
