My Process
If you’re bracing yourself to start your college admissions essays, my packages are built to guide you through the process with ease.
All my packages follow this same process. The difference is how deep we go, how many essays we tackle, and how much time we spend together.
-
We start with a 30-minute conversation to get grounded. I’ll learn your background, goals, and what’s felt hardest about the writing process so far. This helps me understand how you think—and how to best support you—before we ever open a document.
-
Not sure where to start or having trouble overcoming writer's block? I'll help you explore your experiences, passions, and unique qualities to identify essay topics that resonate with you.
-
This is where your essay takes shape. I work closely with you to develop structure, clarify your central theme, and refine voice and tone so your story feels cohesive, intentional, and authentic from start to finish.
-
Once the story is solid, we focus on polish. I provide detailed line-level edits for clarity, flow, and precision, followed by careful proofreading to ensure your essay is clean, confident, and submission-ready.
-
Our work is a balance of live conversations and asynchronous feedback. We use Google Meet calls to brainstorm, outline, draft, and talk through revisions, with occasional mini writing workshops as needed. Between sessions, I review your work independently, leave detailed comments, and suggest next steps, so you’re never left wondering what to do next.
Looking for other personal brand support?
Admissions isn’t the only place where strong storytelling matters. Hourly consulting is available for résumés, cover letters, personal branding, LinkedIn profiles, interview prep, and other writing support. Contact me for a quote on booking me by the hour.
