My summer roster is full. I'll accept new clients beginning January 2022.

"Thank you, Bonnie, for building trust and friendship with our son. You permitted him to open up and develop essays that reflected who he truly is."

Now is the perfect time to tackle writing the college essay!

​

I’ve successfully coached young people to come up with creative & arresting essays that they actually feel invested in and that college admission counselors actually want to read.

​

Students need not have a draft to benefit from our time together; I can lead writers through a brainstorming & invention process that will yield several possible ideas for further expansion. And when it comes time to edit & polish a draft, I pride myself on my ability to guide & inspire without taking over.

​

Results: Schools young people have attended after working with me on their essays include Cornell University, Tulane (honors), Dickinson College & Oberlin College. I've also helped with successful Fulbright applications.

I am happy to travel to Longmont or Boulder or to work remotely.
