Introduction: MY BACKGROUND:
I am a university English Professor who has owned a writing firm since 2005. In addition, I have taught English on the sixth grade through high school level, I am a feature writer for multiple media publications, and I have authored two books which will be available in retail stores nationwide by November of this year. I also provide expert writing and/or test prep instruction for the SAT, ACT, ISSE, SAT Subject Tests, GMAT, FTCE, and GED..all of my students always earn the top scores. My writing is well-known throughout the industry and I will gladly forward samples of my work upon request.
MY CLIENTS:
My client base consists of undergraduate students applying to the top universities - including Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Dartmouth, Brown, Princeton, Georgetown, and Cornell. I also write for graduate students pursuing their Masters, Doctorate, or PhD. I craft perfect essays, personal statements, and letters of recommendation for any field of study ranging from law, medicine, and engineering...to physics, economics, and psychology.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT:
The quality of my work exceeds the standard of excellence - accordingly, that is exactly what you will receive. Of equal importance, I recognize how writing about your own experiences and accomplishments can be a daunting task.
The concerns I typically hear when clients first contact me include the following:
"Help! I don't know where to begin!"
"I have no idea which experiences and academic accomplishments I should include."
"I don't know how to cohesively incorporate so much information into one essay...and still remain within the word count limit!"
"I wrote a rough draft...but it does not reflect what I was trying to say!"
"I have never been a good writer and this is far too difficult for me!"
Does all of that sound familiar? Based upon the number of clients I speak with every week, I would say that it does. Not to worry, I completely understand. In fact, it is for the very reasons above that I launched my writing firm in 2005. Writing essays and personal statements is my area of expertise.
THE PERSONALIZED ATTENTION AND FAST TURNAROUND TIME YOU WILL RECEIVE:
Not only do I offer affordable pricing and a fast turnaround time to meet your needs, but I also take a personalized interest in each and every client to ensure that my edited version retains your style, tone, and original content. Essentially, your essay is your "voice"...it must capture the reader's attention, as well as present your qualities and noteworthy accomplishments in the best possible way. Please note: We will frequently communicate via email or phone throughout the writing process. Any additional details you provide will lend insight into how your life has shaped you into the person you have become.
THE PROCESS:
We will speak by phone after I have reviewed your original draft. Or, if you prefer to have me complete all of your writing from the onset, then you would email the following:
* essay prompts and their corresponding word/character count limits
* your resume (or a list of your academic accomplishments)
* background information (for example, an experience which served as a catalyst for your interest in the medical profession...a family member who was a role model to emulate...inspirational educators who made a lasting impression)
* targeted deadline
