I offer speech writing services, as well as editing for admissions essays, creative and journalistic works in progress, manuscripts, emails, texts, diatribes and any other written communications that need polishing!
What I offer
The best YOU on the page.
I provide expert consulting and editing services to clients writing admissions essays for MBA, professional school and other programs.
In an age of cliché-ridden, robotic prose, I’ll help you put the best version of yourself on the page. More than that, I’ll help you stand out. Do you have fire in your veins? I’ll help you find the words for it.
My approach is highly personalized: I’ll give you my time, and help you put into words what is truly unique and exceptional about you.
I like working with people who’ve struggled. Who hasn’t? Many of my clients have experienced displacement and other forms of hardship. I want to do my own small part to improve the world by helping talented people gain access to elite institutions.
Editing Services & Consultation:
Manuscript Consultation and Appraisal:
following a close reading of your manuscript, I offer a thorough and comprehensive report. I will give you a clear sense of how successful I think your work is on its own terms, and offer detailed suggestions for improvement. I consider both the bigger picture of what the manuscript is trying to achieve, and the smaller (but equally important) details of narrative development and style.
Line-Edit and Revision. Two rounds of editing to solidify your essay content and structure, including thorough line-edit.
Consultation. Hourly phone/video consultation to discuss anything related to admissions writing, positioning, and essay topics.
Comprehensive Package. Total support in all stages of your writing process. Full support on brainstorming, outlining, and revising a single essay, from consultation to submission.
C.V./Resume Revision & Cover Letter Creation. In addition to narrative and essay writing, I have decades of experience structuring resumes and cover letters across many industries.
