Angela was very responsive, she made herself available under a tight time pressure, she helped my daughter feel confident in her college essay, she made important grammar corrections as well as structural recommendations to the essay. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs help with their college essay. I did not use her for anything else but I feel that she has a lot to offer in this process and will use her again if necessary, thank you Angela!

Eve was extremely helpful in assisting my daughter with her Honors College essay. She worked quickly and effectively, encouraging her to strengthen her essay's key points (within a very limited word count maximum) while carefully retaining my daughter's distinct writing style. Her strength in editing was invaluable for this often anxiety producing exercise. We look forward to utilizing Eve again in the near future!
