​
But you're stuck on those apps. You're not alone and I can help.
​
Brainstorming & strategizing
Editing & revisions
Proofing
Three seconds. That's how long you've got to get your reader's attention. So ...
Before we write we have to think. Think about what makes you different. Think about why your reader should bother with your essay. Think about something interesting. Or quirky. Or just really honest.
​
Together we'll think. And come up with a strategy that communicates you best.
Once you've taken that strategy and crafted your best work, I'll take another look.
​
You're paying me to wordsmith. And be picky. And possibly annoying. So I will.
​
Whether you've created a word salad that just isn't going to satisfy anyone's hunger, or if you've concocted a gourmet meal that just needs finishing touches, I'll help you take the next step.
​
As many times as we need to.
Finally, when the words are as crisp, clear, concise, and compelling as they can be, we proof.
​
This is the last check before you upload and press "submit."
