Storytelling lies at the heart of any argument you make for yourself, whether it’s in a college application or a cover letter, and the ability to captivate someone with your story is priceless. I believe that anyone can be a writer if they learn to tap into their voice. My goal isn’t to be your editor but your partner. I know that having to write a big essay can be super daunting, but I want to equip you with the skills you need to be able to break the challenge down and enjoy the process. I can help you develop keen intuition and greater confidence in your ability to create beautiful writing. This includes… - Essays in any and all classes high school, college, and beyond - College/scholarship application essays - Cover letters - Resumes - Personal writing projects of all kinds Through asking targeted questions (using the Socratic method), I will help YOU: - Break down a prompt into its component parts and get started – this can be the hardest part! - Brainstorm anything from what your argument will be to where to start researching a topic - Transform what you say out loud into clear, compelling writing - For personal essays, develop a powerful narrative that best displays your AMAZING story - Turn incomplete thoughts into a logical, organized skeleton for your thesis statement, arguments, and evidence - Draw out your voice to add color and personality to your writing - Cultivate good habits regarding grammar, figurative language, and concision and learn best practices by applying them to your writing
