Book Writing

By ClawHub Community

Plan, draft, and revise complete books with structured workflows and voice consistency.

Data Journalism

By James Anditis (Journalism)

Turn datasets into stories with cleaning, analysis, and visualization workflows.

Book Writing

• Creates a book blueprint with premise, chapter map, and scope before you start drafting
• Guides chapter-by-chapter writing with clear outcomes for each section
• Maintains consistent voice, point of view, and reading level throughout the manuscript
• Runs structured revision passes focused on structure, clarity, and polish separately
• Tracks manuscript progress and flags pacing issues or unresolved promises

Data Journalism

• Cleans messy datasets by standardizing formats, handling missing values, and flagging duplicates
• Guides you through the full data journalism process from hypothesis to publication
• Provides templates for methodology documentation and story structure
• Connects you to major public data sources like Census Bureau, BLS, FDA, and state portals
• Handles common data problems like inconsistent dates, outliers, and similar names
