How It Works

We start before the first sentence.

Most students don't need someone to “fix” their essay. They need someone who knows how to ask the questions that uncover the essay in the first place.

  1. 01

    Discover

    We talk. We ask questions. We look for experiences, relationships, observations and moments that reveal something meaningful about you.

  2. 02

    Find the Story

    Together, we identify the ideas with the greatest potential and determine what the essay is really about.

  3. 03

    Shape It

    Develop the narrative, structure, opening, themes and direction.

  4. 04

    Write It

    The student writes. We advise.

  5. 05

    Refine It

    Revision focuses on structure, clarity, specificity and authentic voice.

  6. 06

    Finalize It

    A polished essay that still sounds unmistakably like the student.
