My clients have achieved many different kinds of success – getting into the college or grad school of their choice, winning nominations and prizes, and the publication of articles and books.

Here is a sampling of the communications and testimonials I have received:

“Wendy, I got some amazing news today – my book was excepted for publication by Random House!!! Thank you for everything. I would never have gotten here without your keen editorial eye and never-ending support.”  

-Erin (published novelist)

“You were such a big help with my essays. The difference between my first and final drafts far exceeded my expectations. So far I’ve been accepted to two MFA programs, including Columbia University. I’ll keep you updated.”  

-Leo (MFA applicant)

“Dear Wendy, Cole has been accepted at another of his top college choices. They said specifically that part of his essay is what impacted the admissions committee in his acceptance and scholarship award. We are a little stunned since he was accepted 7 days after his application was submitted.”  

-Michelle (parent of a college applicant)

“Dear Ms. Frey, I wanted to let you know that I was chosen as a finalist for Questbridge. The email said they accept 5,613 finalists from over 17,900 applicants. I couldn’t have done it without your help.” 

-Mali (college applicant)

“I worked with Ms. Frey on my college essays and with her help got into the Molecular Biology major at UC Berkeley. She was really patient, we spent a significant amount of time carefully discussing each of my essays. Her thoughtful questions made it so much easier to write my first drafts, and her suggestions helped me find details that brought my stories to life in a way that felt true to myself. I highly recommend her as a writing coach.”

-Kylie (college applicant)

“I want to recommend a fantastic college admissions essay tutor. Wendy was readily available to assist my teenage daughter during the senior year crunch during college application season. Not only did she help my daughter to be admitted into her top pick liberal arts college, but I see a whole new level of confidence in my daughter’s ability to express her thoughts and experiences in writing, heading into college.” 

-Greg (parent of a college applicant)

“My son is working with Wendy and we couldn’t be happier! She is kind, down to earth, an excellent listener, joyful, and developmentally attuned. My son is now more excited about the writing process, and is able to write from a place that honors himself and his interests. We highly recommend Wendy.” 

Spring update: He was accepted to Cal Poly Honors Program, UC Davis and more!
