About this Gig
Vetted Pro
A strong college essay doesn't simply tell admissions committees who you are. It gives them a reason to remember you.
I specialize in strategic, substantive editing for Common App essays and undergraduate supplements. I assess what your essay communicates about you as an applicant, identify missed opportunities, strengthen narrative and structure, and rewrite generic (or AI-generated) language to ensure an authentic voice.
With a PhD, 26 years of professional editing experience, and 10 years on university admissions committees, I've helped thousands of applicants get into their dream schools.
This gig is designed for:
- Common App essays
- Supplementals
- "Why us?" and "Why major?" essays
- Activities/community/identity essays
- Honors college applications
- Transfer essays
- UC application essays
My editing includes:
- Admissions strategy and positioning
- Structural/developmental editing
- Substantive rewriting
- Voice and narrative development
- Identifying/filling gaps
- Line editing for clarity, flow, and impact
I deliver a polished, submission-ready document, not simply comments telling you what to change.

FAQ
How do I know which package to order?
Choose your package based on the total word count of the draft you are submitting for editing, not the required final word count. If you are submitting multiple essays, add their current word counts together. If you're unsure which package applies, please message me before ordering.
Can you help with scholarship, transfer, and appeals essays too?
Absolutely. Many clients use this gig to polish essays for merit scholarships, program-based awards, transfers, appeals, and financial aid applications.
Do you offer Zoom or phone consultations?
I don't offer calls. I protect my time for the strategic analysis, restructuring, and rewriting that directly improve your application. This also allows me to keep my rates affordable. Please send any context or questions through Fiverr messages.
Can you work with a rough or incomplete draft?
Absolutely. Your draft does not need to be polished, and substantial rewriting is included in my service. However, I do require a narrative rather than bullet points, notes, or a collection of ideas. If your draft is underdeveloped, please order according to the expected final length.
Can I send you several supplemental essays?
Yes. If you have multiple essays, please message me with the drafts, prompts, and total current word count so I can recommend the appropriate package or prepare a custom offer. I need to review the materials before quoting larger application packages.
Do you offer discounts?
No. Reducing the price would be sub-optimal for us both. It would cause me to expedite my work (to make up for my time/skill level) and I would end up delivering you a product that’s not to my standard. I’m a perfectionist, so my prices reflect the time it takes to give you the best product.
My draft was written or heavily assisted by AI. Can you work with it?
Yes. Most drafts I receive contain generic, vague, or impersonal AI-generated language. Please also provide your resume/CV or other relevant background material, as AI-generated drafts often omit the details needed to make an essay meaningful.
What supporting materials should I provide?
Please provide the application prompt, your draft, and resume/CV. You may also include other application materials that provide useful context. The more concrete information I have about your experiences, accomplishments, and goals, the more effectively I can strengthen the essay.
Will my essay pass AI detectors?
AI detectors are new and unreliable. As an AI-trained editor, I revise drafts to sound natural, personal, and reader-friendly, not robotic. My focus is on insight, flow, targeting, and ensuring your voice is authentic.
What's the included revision for?
I deliver a submission-ready rewrite. The included revision is for factual corrections, misunderstandings of your intended meaning, or limited targeted refinements. It's not meant to be used for a second full rewrite, new strategy, or open-ended collaborative drafting process.
