What my clients are saying about Me.

"My daughter was convinced she had nothing to write about. Leslie changed her mindset immediately. Very quickly, she got my daughter to open up and talk about herself and what she’s interested in. By the end of their first session, my daughter was buzzing with ideas. After six meetings, my daughter had a personal statement that captured her fascination with environmental studies, her concern about the planet--and her unique sense of humor. She was accepted into great schools that have everything she was looking for, and she gained confidence as a writer. She found her “voice.” As a mom, that’s priceless!"

Julie N., Darien, CT

“Leslie can always be counted on to make your writing clearer and more direct. She catches all manner of mistakes, both grammatical and factual, and offers shrewd solutions to the problems she identifies. I've always felt better and more confident about my work after inputting Leslie's changes. For a writer, that's a true luxury.”

Paul H., Staff Writer, Columbia University

"Leslie helped me when I wanted to transfer to another college my sophomore year. The difference between working with her and working with another coach when I first applied to school as an incoming freshman was like night and day. Leslie knows what admissions counselors are looking for, and she gave me invaluable feedback about how I should position myself and my skillset. That helped me focus my thoughts so my writing was more powerful than it’s ever been. Thanks to her, I’m transferring to my dream university in NYC!"

Gabby B., Fairfield, CT

"When the admissions office notified our son that he’d been accepted, they told him, “We really enjoyed your essay!” Thanks, Leslie!"

Suzanne C., Southport, CT

“Leslie’s tenacious and creative. She also has a deft writing touch, always striking the right tone, and choosing the right words.”

Mike S., Editor, Washington Post
