Why More Than a List of Achievements Matters
Admissions officers read thousands of essays every year, and most of them sound the same. A résumé in paragraph form doesn’t grab attention. What makes a difference is a personal story — a snapshot that shows character, values, and potential. Those details are what stand out and linger in the mind of a reviewer.
The Storytelling Edge
As a book coach and published author, I’ve spent years teaching writers how to use narrative to connect with readers. I bring that same expertise to college essays, helping students craft essays that highlight not just what they’ve done, but who they are.
Here’s what sets my approach apart:
-
Essays built around mini-stories, not lists of activities.
-
Sticky details that admissions officers will remember.
-
Guidance that ensures the essay stays in your student’s authentic voice.
-
Editing for clarity, flow, and impact, while leaving the writing in their hands.
What's Included
-
One round of detailed in-document edits (Google Doc or Word).
-
A 30-minute Zoom call to walk through feedback and strategy.
-
Suggestions to strengthen structure, theme, and flow.
-
Guidance on openings and closings that grab attention and leave a lasting impression.
-
A supportive process that keeps the work authentic and their own.

My goal is to make the essay-writing process less overwhelming for your student — and give you peace of mind that their essay will rise above the pile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will you write the essay for my student?
No. The essay must remain your student’s work. My role is to guide, edit, and strengthen what’s already there so their authentic voice shines through.
What if my student hasn’t started writing yet?
This service is best suited for students who already have a draft. If your student is stuck at the starting line, I can provide brainstorming prompts to help them get words on the page before we begin editing.
How quickly will we get feedback?
Edits are returned within 5 business days. The Zoom call is scheduled at your convenience.
How long does the whole process take?
Most students finalize their essay within a week or two after our session. This is not an ongoing coaching relationship — it’s a focused, efficient process.
