I used Brian about three years ago for a college admission essay that I thought was good but needed a different opinion. He made perfect suggestions for how to reorganize it, extracting a hook from the body and putting it right at the beginning, with suggestions he calls “sanding” to hone the message. He was spot-on then, and now he has done it again for a graduate school essay. He took an essay that I though was very good and really did make it great with similar small but highly valuable modifications. He just knows how to make an essay hum, and that’s what he did for me. Thanks Brian!
