Support for writers of every type, stripe and feather

“We are truly grateful to have Devon help our daughter with the essay portion of her applications. Devon directed her through initial writing exercises to evoke unique facets of our daughter’s personality and achievements. She was able to help our daughter articulate in her own words answers to the various school specific questions as well. It made the process less daunting for our daughter and really hands off for us as parents. She kept us on track to be done in a stress free timely manner. We wholeheartedly recommend Devon as a guide to any family that is about to embark on this college essay journey.“

She uses a highly supportive approach, eager to dive into conversation which further adds up to a truly personal experience. while still growing my writing skills. Devon is efficient at editing, without impeding on the integrity of the original. I highly recommend Devon to anyone seeking to relieve the weight of the application process.”

“What a blessing to have Devon to help guide our daughter through the process of writing her personal statement. We knew if would be a more joyful process if our daughter didn’t have to take our notes or answer to us in any way. In fact, we were so confident that Devon was guiding her appropriately that we did not even read her essay until weeks after she pushed send on her application. Devon’s experience with so many applicants gave weight to her opinion and comments so much that our daughter felt confident to write an unconventional and even kooky essay about a topic that one would not expect in a personal statement, and boy did her voice and personality leap off the page. She was accepted early decision at her first choice school. Thank you, Devon!”

With you, I learnt how to decompose and recompose my own words and thoughts like a puzzle. I enjoyed listening to your comments and your questions, your perspectives helping me traslate my “too scientific” ideas into the beautiful language of storytelling. Thank you! You help me to reach the next important step in my life!”

“I am so glad to have had the opportunity to work with Devon. Before our meetings, I struggled with perfectionism and procrastination. Devon helped me overcome my self-doubt and taught me not to be afraid of making mistakes. She was a thoughtful editor and at no point did I feel like she was writing my essay for me. Devon is kind, funny, and sophisticated and our meetings were enjoyable as well as productive. I highly recommend Devon to anyone feeling overwhelmed by looming college essays.”

I got accepted to Boston College, Emory University, and the Trinity Columbia Dual BA program!!! Thank you so much for all your help with the admissions process!
