Essay editing

The college essay is a pivotal piece in the college admissions process. With my help, your student will receive comprehensive essay guidance from start to finish and unlimited editing for a fixed price. I will offer brainstorming sessions, outlines, as well as both copy edits (grammar checks) and developmental edits (story checks). We’ll work together until we’re both satisfied with the final product.

How am I qualified to critique your work?
I’ve worked on Northwestern’s admissions committee, attended essay writing conferences at USC and UChicago, and have read 3000+ admissions essays. I also have a B.A. in English Literature from UC Santa Barbara and am a WIP debut author for the Society of Children's Book Writers. My goal is to help you write an authentic, unique story while using classical conventions of writing appropriately.
