Testimonials
"I cannot recommend Janet highly enough. She is perceptive, supportive and enthusiastic. From brainstorming to drafting and editing, Janet provided valuable insight and guidance, helping my daughter highlight her unique qualities and experiences, and home in on her essay topic. Janet’s discerning eye helped my daughter meet her 650 word limit, while maintaining her authentic voice. She was always quick to respond and most importantly, through what is often an anxiety-inducing process, Janet made it fun. My daughter loved working with her!"

"I struggled writing my college essay for a long time. I had so many ideas but I couldn’t figure out how to write them. However, Janet was able to look over my rough draft. She gave me feedback with not only with grammar and punctuation, but with great ideas that I struggled to put on paper. Her comments on my essay were extremely helpful. She gave me advice on what topics to elaborate on, looking back those were my favorite parts in my writing! I highly recommend Janet as she’s an amazing writing coach and extremely helpful."
