About this Gig
***I STRONGLY recommend messaging me first and sending me your draft BEFORE placing an order***
Applying to college? So is everyone! I was a college admissions officer for twelve years. Over that time, I saw a LOT of terrible application essays from students who just needed a good editor or proofreader. Don't be one of those and stand out for the WRONG reason. Let my experience help you to make your essay stand out from the rest in a GOOD way. I will proofread and edit your completed essay (ONE essay, please, up to 1,000 words in its current unedited state), for spelling, punctuation, grammar, narrative, and style.
In addition to my long experience in college admissions, I also have a MA in Communication, and I am a freelance writer and publicist. I know how to write for an audience... especially when that audience is an admissions committee.
Let's work together. We got this.

FAQ
Will you write my essay for me?
NOPE. I do not create any original content. I take your completed essay and make it better, with the admissions committee's eye in mind.
Can I send you multiple essays if the total word count is under 1000?
I can do multiple essays, but because each one has its own narrative structure and prompt, please do not lump them into one order. Either place separate orders, or message me for a custom multiple essay quote. Thank you!
My essay is over the word limit. Can you help me cut it down?
YES! That is one of my strengths as a writer. If Twitter has taught us anything, it's how to express complex ideas in tight spaces. Send that oversized essay right over!
What academic areas have you edited for?
After close to 1000 orders, I've edited for just about every academic area of study: Nursing, computer science, law, visual/performing arts, statistics & data science, marketing, PR, dentistry, information science, communication, HCI, medical, & more, at Undergrad, Grad, PhD, and Certificate levels.
Do you use AI or ChatGPT to edit essays and statements?
NO, and neither should you! I have started to see essays that were obviously written by ChatGPT and they are obvious. Please do not use AI to write your personal statement, because it won't be personal; your admissions committees can spot these a mile away. It will hurt your chances of admission.
Why wouldn't I just use Grammarly (or some other AI proofreader)?
Grammarly is good for basic grammar, but not much else. It can't help eliminate admissions clichés, it doesn't know what your adcoms are looking for, and it can't detect style choices. Use Grammarly for very basic writing, but not for anything this important. "Don't risk your shot with a bot!"
