It’s not just an essay; it’s a story.
Hey there, I’m Mariam! I’m a professional writer and an Adjunct professor in creative writing at an Ivy League university. I’m naturally creative, with strong editorial skills, thanks to my MFA in Creative Writing from Columbia University, where I served as editor-in-chief of the Columbia Journal. As an educator and editor, I have worked with writers of all levels – from Pulitzer Prize winners to first-year college students. Because of my extensive experience, I firmly believe that anyone can write, and I am passionate about helping you craft compelling college application essays.
My Approach:
The college admissions process can seem daunting, but I am here to guide you through the three stages of the writing process
1.Idea generation
2.Drafting
3.Revision
I firmly believe that the college admissions process is not just about writing an essay; it’s about telling a story. For this reason, I offer a holistic approach to the application process, where I get to know you — your background, your interests, and your goals. Remember, a powerful narrative is one that explains who you are and why you are a perfect fit for your dream school.
My Competitive Edge:
Over the past few years, I have had the honor of working with writers and students from diverse backgrounds, including international students and those with different learning needs. Therefore, I am well-equipped to help students of all skill levels.
Finally, as an Adjunct Professor, I know the transition from high school to collegiate-level learning can be daunting. As part of my lessons, I provide readings and writing exercises adapted from my own syllabus to sharpen your writing skills and to help jumpstart your college careers. In other words, if you work with me, you’ll craft strong college application essays and learn to write at a collegiate level.
I can’t wait to write with you! Let’s get to work!
