"I have checked hundreds of essays, short stories, poems, and college application personal statements. My coaching methods frequently involve succinct impromptu feedback with critique and positive reinforcement.

When reviewing college admission essays, I ascertain that the student/applicant maximizes all potential selling-points for their narrative. If you just want to hand over an essay without a meet-up session, I charge about 1 hour for 100-900 words and charge more for additional extensive work.

When it comes to evaluating treatments and screenplays, I look for natural flow and potential plot developments. A 1-hour session may be worth 10-12 screenplay pages. Anything more than 15 pages will be beyond a 1-hour session.

Even in English classes at the University of Houston, I was the class bookworm. I was a known feedback giver among fellow Creative Writers, whether it was skimming for grammar or the logistics of the narrative storytelling. I analyze classics from the pop-cultural hit Harry Potter to the conventional classics like the Scarlet Letter. Although my days of taking ACTs and SATs have long passed, that doesn't mean I don't have the deductive tricks (courtesy of Latin classes) to test sections involving reading comprehension (I applied these tricks to the pesky vocab section).

I possess a BA in filmmaking and have script consulted for Houston short films. I have tweaked screenplays and treatments.

Please also mind the 24-hr cancelation policy.

Even if my schedule here does not indicate so, reach out to me and I'll try to make the time for you.

NOTE: If you try to give me essay work with a last-last-minute deadline, I may have to charge more. I may not be the best person for you if you want to get something in within 5 hours. Otherwise, I will likely reject last-minute work.

I don't bite. But let me know if I intimidate you with my enthusiasm." less...
