I will edit and polish your college application essay
Essay editing that sounds like you, just sharper
About this Gig
A resume with typos or an essay that sounds like everyone else's gets skimmed, not remembered. I make sure that doesn't happen to yours.
I recently went through the college application process myself, including personal essays, supplements, and the whole exhausting edit-and-rewrite cycle, so I know exactly what makes an essay land and what makes an admissions reader's eyes glaze over. I don't rewrite your voice. I sharpen it.
My process:
Send me your draft. I'll send back a clean, edited version along with a short note explaining the key changes, so you understand why something reads better, not just what changed.
What I offer:
- Line editing for clarity, flow, and grammar
- Structural feedback on pacing and organization (Standard and Premium)
- Honest notes on what's already working and what isn't
What I won't do:
I won't write the essay for you or invent details you didn't share. That's not editing, it's ghostwriting, and it does you no favors. Admissions readers can often tell, and more importantly, it stops being your story. What I will do is make sure the story that's already yours comes through as clearly and compellingly as possible.

FAQ
Do you write the essay for me?
No. I edit and strengthen what you've already written. I don't invent details or write content from scratch, since that's ghostwriting, not editing, and it means the essay stops being genuinely yours.
How many revisions do I get?
Basic includes proofreading only. Standard includes 1 revision round. Premium includes 2. Need more? You can add extra revision rounds for a small additional fee.
What if my essay is over 650 words?
No problem. Extra words beyond the package limit can be added for a small additional fee, listed in my Gig Extras.
How fast can you turn it around?
Standard delivery is 2 to 4 days depending on your package. Extra fast delivery is available for an additional fee if you're on a deadline.
What formats do you accept?
Google Docs, Word documents, or plain text all work. Just paste your draft or attach the file when you place your order.
Can you help me brainstorm if I don't have a draft yet?
My focus is on editing existing drafts, but if you have rough notes or an outline, send them and I'll let you know if I can help shape it into a starting draft.
