Writing boot camps

Designed for 3 - 12 students, writing boot camps can be tailored to the needs of the group: brainstorming topics, writing a powerful lede, essential elements for telling a compelling story, how to show not tell. Boot camps are 2 hours and can be done via zoom or in person.

3 - 6 students = $250; 7 - 12 students, $350

Application support & editing

The application process can seem overwhelming and be a source of stress for students and parents. I help students organize and streamline their approach, creating an application "syllabus" to follow to ensure deadlines are met and applications are complete. We can maximize their 150-character descriptions by replacing passive language with dynamic action verbs to highlight the impact of their activities and accomplishments. Editing services are available for students at any stage of the writing process, either a la carte or with personal coaching.
