"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!"
