✍️ The Storytelling Intensive
Writing is where I do my best work. This focused engagement is built around finding and telling your story — the single thing that most often separates a forgettable piece of writing from one that genuinely lands. Whether it's a college essay, a scholarship application, a cover letter, a personal statement for a program, or another piece that matters, we go deep, we dig for the real material, and we don't stop until the writing sounds like you at your most honest and compelling. What we'll complete together: *Two to three story-mining sessions to surface the moments, themes, and strengths worth putting on the page *A clear core narrative or through-line: the idea that ties your writing together and makes it memorable *Up to three distinct pieces of writing, each taken from brainstorm through polished final draft *Genuine voice and authenticity coaching you'll carry into everything you write next This package covers up to 12 hours of work and a maximum of three distinct pieces — for example, a personal statement plus two supplemental or scholarship essays, or a cover letter and two application essays. Perfect on its own, or as an add-on for someone who has their strategy handled but wants to elevate their writing.
