How we can work together

Whether you’re starting from scratch or refining a final draft, The Essay Architect is here to help you craft a college admissions essay that’s true to who you are – and smartly aligned with what college admissions teams want to read.

  • We brainstorm. It’s a casual but thorough chat that always leads to uncovering signature personal stories and meaningful experiences that reflect your strengths and values. In other words, we discover what admissions officers need to hear to picture you on campus.

  • Together, we map out a story strong structure that brings your story to life and brings readers along on a memorable and organized narrative journey.

  • You’ll walk away with writing tools and writing confidence that you can use well beyond the college application process. And we hope you do, because writing is a life skill.

  • "Ashley took the time to not just talk about what I had done, but to dig deep into the WHY behind it all. Our conversation sparked many ideas, and with her guidance I was able to craft a narrative that tied together all of my experiences."

    When I first began the college application process, I felt very overwhelmed. I had worked hard on my extracurriculars and academics, but I struggled to figure out how to connect everything into a meaningful story well. I had received help from peers in the past, but no one compared to Ashley. What once felt impossible became manageable with Ashley’s support. She helped ease the stress of the process and gave me the confidence to apply to schools I had only dreamed of. I truly could not recommend Ashley more highly – her one-of-a-kind skills, patience, and dedication made all the difference.”
