Summary
I founded Razor Writing Coaching Services to help writers--from beginners to professional writers--to finish their writing projects with ease and authenticity. With over 15 years working with writers of all sorts, I use individually tailored feedback that address the practical and the psychological blocks that can otherwise hold you back in your writing. I help people to produce their best writing. If you need help on a creative project (screenplay; memoirs; novel) or on a lengthy nonfiction work (academic article, dissertation or thesis), contact me. I can guide you to achieve your writing goals with ease and confidence (as well as confidentiality). Lately, I have seen a spike in anxiety about college writing, and in applying for college by writing the personal statement. I help high school students and guide their parents in understanding how to holistically approach writing the personal statement for college apps. My goal is to help families prepare for a positive college experience. Because I teach professional writing at a major research university, I work with young adults who are often just on the other side of the college admission process. I have helped hundreds of high school students already and am passionate in guiding people of all ages to find their joy in writing and to leverage writing to inspire their success!
