Admission Essay Development and Editing

(i.e. what to say and how to say it)

"But there's nothing special about me."

I've heard this from countless students over the years. They didn't grow up in a war torn country or survive a life-threatening disease or save a village from a rampaging werewolf (or whatever), so they feel like they have nothing interesting to say.

But I'm here to tell you that EVERYONE has something valuable to offer a college or university, and everyone has a story worth telling. Yes, even you. ;) I have no doubt that you have a story inside you, and I can help you find it. With over ten years of experience in the college admissions arena and three published books, I'm well equipped to help you craft a narrative that shows admission officers who you are and why you'll be an asset to their school.

Packages

Development

$199

Trying to decide what to write in your admission essay can be downright terrifying. How do you fit your entire life experience and personal identity into a 650 words? That's where I come in. I help you get to the heart of what you want college admission officers to know about YOU.

We'll work together for an hour, brainstorming ideas for your essay and developing them into a cohesive narrative. After our call, I'll take what we discussed and turn it into a detailed paragraph-by-paragraph outline for you to follow as you write your essay.

What's included:

1 hour video consult
essay outline

Editing

$349

You know what you want to say, but you just can't pin down how to say it. Maybe the flow is clunky, or your grammar is all over the place, or you're 400 words over the limit and can't figure out what to cut.

Fear not, my friend! I'll help you tell your story in a way that fits your voice and fits in that 650-word box. We'll work through a shared google doc and emails to craft your story into an essay that expresses exactly why you'll be a valuable addition your college of choice.

What's included:

2 rounds of line editing
1 round of copy editing
