How We Work

Working with CollegeEssaySolutions generally involves the following steps:
  • Initial contact between parents and CES President, Craig Heller
  • Student contacts Craig, discusses initial concepts for essay, alternative concepts, brainstorming techniques, organization and outlining, more. Follow up phone call, if needed.
  • Student generates first draft of essay, emails to Craig.
  • Craig edits the essay. Editorial comments might include:

    Suggestions for expanding/clarifying essay concepts, improving organization/sentence structure/sentence variety/word choice, avoiding clichés, starting strong/ending with a flourish, personalized writing instruction, more.
     
  • Craig returns the essay with his input, highlighted and explained in detail.

Editorial comments are always couched as suggestions. The essay remains the creation of the student.

  • The student implements the input as desired, makes additional changes if desired, returns the draft to Craig
  • Word count issues are addressed as necessary.
  • Process continues until the essay has reached the high standards of the student and CollegeEssaySolutions.  No limit on drafts or time, other than submission dates.
  • Immediately prior to submission, Craig does a final read through of the essay.
