College essays start with a conversation

I’m a journalist and editor who knows how to listen for the story hiding in the details.

College essay coaching starts with a conversation.

Together, we find the story only you can tell. You don’t have to know what to write.

You just have to start talking.

Four ways to begin

Whether your student has no idea where to start or knows exactly what they need, there’s a place for them here.

  • Just start talking — We uncover the story idea that only you can tell.

  • Find your voice — We shape your personal statement into an essay that sounds like you.

  • Add your voice — We bring that same voice to your supplemental essays.

  • Tell your story — Your personal statement and supplemental essays, coached from first idea to final draft.
