General ⇒ LaTeX Help! :(

[lenaw]

Hi all,
first off - I am completely new to this forum, so sorry if I posted this into the wrong place!
I am a 27 year old German woman working on her masters degree, however now I am demanded to write a paper in LaTeX, with which I have never worked before. I figured out some basics and kind of get some things to work. But unfortunately, I am slowly running out of time on the paper and it doesn‘t look and work as it should and I am stuck here, because nothing I read or search seems to work, especially with citations, but generally all over the document, things are not as they should be.
I need help!
Can anybody spare some time for me and help me figure some stuff out that should be kind of on a beginner to slightly advanced level?

Thank you so much..!
Best
Lena

Hi Lena,

welcome to the forum!

There are some professional LaTeX advisors. The one from Germany that I know, can be reached at troubleshooting-tex.de.

Here in the forum, and in other forums, people can help with specific questions or problems. Even if it's 20 issues, no problem - if you can show it (with code), each issue probably can be solved one by one, one issue per thread/topic. If you don't find somebody who spends hours on your thesis, you can post all specific issues here and have a good chance to get each one solved.

In addition, there are German language forums, such as goLaTeX.de (for longer discussions with advice) and TeXwelt.de (to get very good answers for specific questions), and it is the same there: specific handy well presented problems can usually be solved. Btw. if you would post a question in several forums, please add a link to the same question in the other forum to keep discussion and solutions connected.

While problems can be solved here one by one: if you need a personal consultant for extensive LaTeX work, you can hire via troubleshooting-tex.de or tug.org/consultants.html.

Stefan

PS: now I see the crosspost at goLaTeX.de, for reader information.
