When Sebastian edited my memoir, he offered imperative feedback and insight, added tremendous value and seamless flow to the narrative, ironed out all the wrinkles, and polished off all the rough edges. We each have different strengths and weaknesses. Working with Sebastian allowed me to forgive my own shortcomings with complete confidence that he would pick up where I left off. He was assertive in diligently editing the manuscript while beautifully maintaining the integrity of the work, voice, and tone. As an author, I have tremendous gratitude for Sebastian's contribution to my success, and as a publisher, I only wish he was available to edit every manuscript that comes across my desk. Work with him if you can; you will be glad you did.

I had the best time working with Sebastian. I initially started meeting with him because I was having trouble getting the hang of some of the SAT sections, but he ended up saving me in AP Lit as well. He was incredibly patient with me, even when I needed the same things explained two or three times, and was always ready to come at problems from a new angle if it seemed like one technique wasn't working for me. He also helped me out over Skype a few times when I was out of town, which was so awesome. I don't know how one person can be so good at standardized testing, and reading, and writing, AND teaching, but he is. It's amazing.
Thanks again, Sebastian!!

Sebastian edited my medical school application essays last summer, and I could not have asked for a better experience. I had a particularly difficult time trying to preserve my ideas while trying to meet the short character limits required. Sebastian took the time to ask what I was trying to convey in each essay. He ensured that my writing was presented in a clear, concise way and was also also an authentic representation of myself.
Sebastian is thoughtful and takes on your challenges as his own. He goes above in beyond in his job, and I highly recommend him. I could not have gotten through the application cycle without his help.

Sebastian worked with me on my resume and helped me cut out the fluff and describe my past positions in the best way. He also helped me tailor my resume to the positions I was applying for. I highly recommend working with Sebastian!
