“Strengthen the message. Make it all connect. Be sure to cross the t’s and dot the i’s.”

Brian earned a B.A. in Philosophy from Columbia College, Columbia University. He has worked for 10 years in the publishing industry in a variety of roles. Brian is an experienced editor for business, legal, medical, graduate, and undergraduate admissions essays. He is also conversant with resume writing and can edit resumes for law school, medical school, continuing education programs, and straightforward employment. Brian cares for two energetic children. In his spare time, he works on several fiction-writing projects. “When I edit a paper, I first try to understand where the author’s coming from, and from there I can help them get where they’re going, then I can assist with the organizational and technical matters. When a client’s essay lands on someone’s desk, I want it to be clear and to clearly communicate their intent. I will constructively critique and correct an essay with the goal of instilling a proficiency and confidence to the writing, a confidence the addressee will recognize.” Brian considers his work the practice of a craft, and he feels privileged in his role of helping his clients present their best selves.
