About me

When I was 10 years old I wrote my first story. What I remember most was how completely lost I got in the process.  Ever since then, I write-- for enjoyment, for healing, to express myself creatively and to make money. Regardless of the genre or topic, I believe that engaging storytelling is the key to a successful essay. 

I have found such personal joy when I'm able to help a student discover a little more about themselves through their essay. We both feel a sense of accomplishment when they are ready to share their story with the college or university of their choice.

My goal is to help a student's essay stand out, so that the college admissions review panel leans in.

"Susan is a true professional with the patience of a saint!  She knew exactly how to relate and keep my son on track, who in his opinion, had much better things to do with his time!  She provided feedback and guidance while allowing him to explore his thoughts and feelings. The result was one heck of an essay.  We are most thankful for her expertise." (Leigh Ann, Trumbull CT)

"The boys are so proud of their essays, Most importantly, they really learned something about the writing process, just following your suggested edits and techniques. We cannot thank you enough..." (Harold, New Jersey)
