We don’t.
We believe autobiographical nonfiction writing for applications constitutes more than a simple avatar of the applicant.
At its most evolved, a good personal essay is the DNA of your intellect and character.
We will help you get accepted and produce writing that makes you proud.
Personalized edits for your best writing.
Consulting
The candor and compassion we show you, shows up in your writing.
You complete an interview/questionnaire and meet with one of our specialists to discuss it. By the end of the 30-35 minute session, you have an outline for an essay.
Coaching
We help you leverage the strengths of your writing process for future success.
Your writing is an artifact originating from your experience. Understanding the background of a specific piece, how you unearthed the content and gave it form, is key to understanding your past motivations, which in turn will enable you to better plan for the future. Authentic personal writing reveals exactly what your strengths and talents are. The aim of coaching at Truly is to help you align your strengths and talents to guarantee success.
In forty-five minute sessions, our conversations extend beyond the text of your essay(s) to reflect on how the structure of your writing process and your resulting work align with past and potentially future patterns in your academic and professional life.
Editing
We cut out your best parts and put them in your writing.
We ensure you have properly responded to the prompt(s), use precise compositional techniques to shape your content, and line-edit your writing. We elevate correct grammar to professional-level syntax. Our focus on clarity achieves a transparent, sincere writing style.
