My approach is based on two foundational questions: 1) what is the writer trying to accomplish, and 2) how well are they accomplishing it? For me, feedback always begins with a conversation around that first question. This may involve breaking down a prompt for a given assignment--or it may be a conversation about your personal goals for artistic expression. Either way, it's important to understand where we are trying to go before we can know how to get there. At this stage, I encourage free-writing without worrying about being tidy, capturing everything that comes to mind with openness and curiosity. From there, we can arrange your ideas into a larger whole, notice the gaps to be filled in, and as your piece takes shape, we can begin to think about the second question: what feels like it's working, what doesn't, and why? We will look at syntax, grammar, logical flow--technical adjustments and the reasons behind them--and we will talk about what content needs smoothing over or expansion from my point of view as your audience. Writing is a vulnerable thing to do, and I understand that it can be difficult to hear criticism about something we have put so much of ourselves into, or that we feel holds so much power over our future. Everybody has their own personal style, voice, strengths, weaknesses, modes of expression, ways of thinking about the world and describing our experiences in it. My job is never to break you down or discourage you with harsh criticism. Rather, it is to help you see how wonderful your writing can already be, just as you are right now.

Josh is SO kind, intuitive, and helped me unlock a way of writing personal essays that feels more fluent, more original, and with clearer intentions than I had previously been capable of. He's a great listener, and helps you get in touch with the exact kind of essay that YOU want to write, while also having an ear for what grant applications and college admissions want to see. You're doing yourself and your applications a HUGE favor by working with Josh!!
Josh has been a great help throughout my education journey. He is patient and explains what I need help with in a way that is clear and accessible. I definitely recommend his services! 10/10
