“I was a week before the deadline and I was in dire need of help. I'm an atypical applicant - a career changer and older than the applicant pool. I reached out to Dan, and he was already at capacity. He moved mountains to work with me to meet the deadline, and for that, I am so grateful. He really cares. Dan and I spent hours crafting compelling narratives that will raise my chances for an interview. His ability to get to know you and flush out the core of your passions is amazing. I wholeheartedly recommend him. I feel much more confident about my chances with his help.”
Read More“Dan helped me with rewriting my resume and introduction letter. I came to him with what I thought was a strong foundation. Over just a few short online/phone sessions, Dan helped me bring my profile into the 21 century.
He took my bland, checklist resume, and letter and really made them pop. He had a way of drawing an essence out of me; helping me paint a colorful and attractive picture of my personal skills and experience. By no means did Dan write for me, it was a true collaboration of guidance and support. He gave me the confidence to go deeper and use language on the fringe of my vocabulary. Now that I'm done working with Dan, my confidence is through the roof. Reflecting on what we wrote together draws my head up and shoulders back.”
“Dan has a talent for getting to the heart of not just the challenge, but of your own motivation. He helped me revamp my resume in two short online sessions, delivering a streamlined and highly readable product that helped me clarify my goals as well as create a professional resource. He is super efficient and condenses not just copy edit skill but also thoughtfulness into his approach, following and guiding at the same time. Thanks Dan! Highly recommend.”
Read More“Dan was a pleasure to work with. Rather than writing an essay for you, Dan prides himself on elevating his clients' writing skills. I left Dan a more cohesive writer, though most importantly, Dan provided me with a creative twist my thought process did not previously contain. Working with Dan resulted in more than I could have hoped for, and along the way, I gained not only stronger mechanics but also a mentor and friend. Dan is dedicated to his craft like no other, and I cannot stress the reward of working with him enough.”
Read More“By far my writing ability was one of my worst scholastic proficiencies, and that says a lot considering the majority of graduate school is writing what we have discerned. I have struggled with reading and writing since my childhood, but it wasn't until working with Dan that I learned some powerful yet intuitive writing hacks. Almost anyone can spellcheck, and add punctuation to your sentences, making sure grammatically it's properly organized yet how many people can help you to understand not just how to write, but how to become a better writer? Help you to understand the depth of words and their
interconnected relationships and how the precise combination is the difference between a Personal Statement that gets you an acceptance letter with an enclosed full-ride scholarship, as opposed to the rejection letter that sends you back to the drawing board further delaying your dreams.”
“It has taken me days to figure out the right words to describe how WONDERFUL Dan was when he helped me with my transfer essays. I have been on a very untraditional college path and deciding the best way to present myself was very difficult for me. Dan showed my how to take the positives from the negatives. In helping me pull out the positives for my essays, we also discovered I had a lot more to talk about than just my surface level schooling and work. Dan is incredibly easy to talk to, which makes bouncing ideas off him a breeze.
If you are a non-traditonal student or someone looking to beef up their resume, I HIGHLY recommend working with Dan. He is definitely not second best.”

Read MoreDan helped me with my Linkedin page. He curated my thoughts and structured them to professionally articulate what I have to offer. His patience and ability to listen showed me that he is a skilled writer and passionate about his craft.
I cannot thank him enough.
I had such an incredible experience with Dan's services. It was my first time writing a letter of intent and I was truly lost on how to showcase my passion for my field of interest.
If you're a student who needs guidance for your undergrad or graduate applications, this is your guy! Even if you think you've got it covered, I would strongly recommend just having him look it over. His is so skilled in tweaking sentences to make them more precise and eloquent. I hope other students see this and get the help they need. Thanks, Dan!
