I have been helping students with application essays for over 15 years, and they are one of my favorite things to work on. Application essays are a wonderful confluence of personal and academic history, and they are a delicate blend of sharing your life and getting essay readers to want you!
I do not have unlimited time to work on essays because of the whole writing and teaching career thing, but I selfishly set aside five slots per month for students and clients who need help with an essay.
In order to make the process simple and allow you to know what you are getting, I have created a menu of essay service packages. You can purchase a package in the SHOP.
For each package, I offer:
- reading through your essay and providing edits and feedback online
- a Skype call to discuss the edits and feedback
- reading and commenting on the rewrite
- a final read through
Packages
Small: under 1000 words $200*
Medium: 1001 to 2500 words $300*
Large: 2500-3500 words $400*
*I reserve the right to grade your project as light, medium, or heavy. If only light editing is needed, I will reduce the charge by 10% and if extensive, heavy editing is needed, I may need to charge an additional 10%.
