Before we jump into writing, I require a 30-minute introductory meeting for us to get to know each other. It's an opportunity for me to connect with you and learn your story, aspirations, and pain points with the writing process. This will help me assess how I can best support you and lay the foundation for an effective partnership.
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 compelling essay topics that resonate with your personal journey.
Have an idea for your essay but need help guiding the direction? I'll work closely with you to make sure your final product has a consistent voice and tone that reflects your personality, a clear theme, and an intuitive and authentic story that highlights your unique experiences for maximum impact.
Got your essay drafted already? Elevate your written work and get it submission-ready with my grammar and copyediting service. I meticulously review your content for clarity, consistency, and correctness, making sure it's clear of any typos or grammar errors. I spend 60 minutes proofing in each revision.
