"As a professional screenwriter and bestselling novelist, I’ve spent my career crafting stories that move audiences — and I bring that same storytelling expertise to helping students write authentic, memorable college essays.

Admissions officers read thousands of essays every year, and the ones that stand out are personal, specific, and emotionally resonant. I teach students how to find the story only they can tell — and how to tell it in a voice that feels genuine and alive.

My approach combines practical writing techniques (structure, pacing, clarity) with creative storytelling tools (voice, character, theme) to help each student discover their unique narrative. Whether you’re brainstorming ideas, polishing a final draft, or starting from scratch, I’ll guide you through every step of the process.

I’ve helped dozens of professional writers earn spots in Hollywood’s most competitive writing fellowships — at NBC, ABC, HBO, and more — programs with acceptance rates even lower than Harvard’s. I know how to craft stories that stand out, and I want to help you or your child do the same. Together, we’ll build confidence, sharpen storytelling skills, and make your essay truly unforgettable." less...
