For two years as a Stanford Hollyhock Fellow I studied how to help students write better. Through feedback that is both technical (the X's and O's of writing) and power-affirming (asking writers to think deeply about their effect on the reader), I have helped dozens of students get into colleges. In particular, I excel at coaching for the Personal Insight Question (PIQ), a college essay form unique to the UC system, and have led workshops on how to understand and use this type of essay. My...

I'm the father of three and I've been writing professionally for more than 20 years. When I first started out, the words came easily. But after I'd been doing it for a few years I came to realize that writing isn't easy. Sure, there are a few people who have a natural gift.

I'm convinced that while not everyone can be a great writer, everyone can be a good writer--and I can... Read more
