"My essays finally sounded like me, and not AI. The feedback was so personal and detailed. I felt confident submitting every essay."

"The guidance was clear and encouraging. I never felt lost, and my writing improved with every round of edits. My essays expressed my ideas authentically."
"Before I worked with Chris, my essay was a recitation of my résumé. It was hard to transition from formulaic writing to using a personal tone that popped.
Chris helped me clarify everything in an hour brainstorm session. We started with big-picture ideas about what I wanted the admissions committee to know. After a full rework and three rounds of revisions, my voice shone through clearly."
Columbia, Northwestern, Johns Hopkins, and six others.
Live video calls are one-on-one sessions with me. I take the time to learn about the story and intent behind the essay, and offer advice for structure or content strategy.
Remote feedback is easy: you send me an essay draft by email or Google Docs, and I return my edits to you in the same format. I provide line edits, structural edits, writing feedback and coaching, and an overall summary with next steps.
I return each essay draft within seven days of receiving it. If it's late, you won't be charged for it. Full support clients get placed at the top of my work queue. Rush pricing is available at a 20% surcharge for 48 hour turnaround.
Each school's questions have unique requirements. If the summed supplement maximum word count is less than 750, I'm happy to treat it as one essay. For instance, if the Yale supplement requires seven questions with maximum 35 words, an additional 200 word question, and a 100 word question, it is 545 max words total. Please purchase the Remote Feedback - New Essay package once for the supplement. Email me with any edge cases.
