Feeling overwhelmed with college admissions essays?

It’s no secret that many students find that writing the personal statement and supplemental essays is the most daunting aspect of filling out their college applications.

That’s where I come in! I can help make the process so much easier and less stressful for the students and their parents! Using my 30+ years of experience as an award-winning journalist, magazine editor, freelance writer, and book author, I guide students as they brainstorm and write their college essays. I also help with resumes, filling out the Common Application, and any other writing pertaining to college admissions. (Take a look at my testimonials page to read what previous clients have to say.)

Here’s what I can do:

• Interview students and ask the right questions to get them thinking about topics they might want to explore.
• Help them choose the topic (or topics) that will set them apart from the thousands of other applicants.
• Teach them how to outline their essays so that they first grab the attention of the admissions officers with a unique opener and then keep them riveted until the end.
• Guide them as they find their original voice and work through drafts.
• Help students stick to the word count and correct spelling, punctuation, and grammatical errors.
• Ensure that all deadlines are met.

Here’s what I won’t do:

• Write the essay for you.
