Insights & Inspiration

GATHER THE INFO AND FIND YOUR VOICE.
Are you starting from a Common App prompt? A college-specific prompt? Need to write a supplemental essay?  Each essay asks something different of you. Before you write your story, you need to define your goal. We’ll identify which qualities of yours are best to highlight, and tell a story that will help colleges see what makes you -- uniquely you.

Putting pieces together

EXPLORE THE CONTENT. CREATE AN OUTLINE. 
There are so many ways a story can be told. What form should your essay take?  Some stories start at the beginning while others begin at the end and then reveal how you got there.  An essay can start with a concept or philosophy before you delve into detail.  We’ll explore the different ways your story can unfold.

Crafting: in the works

WRITE THE RIGHT WORDS. HAVE THE RIGHT IMPACT.
The admissions essay is your chance to “speak” to the college – to let them know who you are.  You want the best tools available. We’ll help you find the words to make your voice heard.

A second pair of eyes

REVIEW, REVISE, AND REPEAT.
We’ll go over every idea, every word.  We’ll look at your essay from the reader’s perspective to make sure it flows clearly with no confusion and no errors.

A little polish And we're good

FINE TUNE AND FINALIZE. GET EVERYTHING IN ORDER.
