Is your high schooler stressing out about writing COLLEGE ESSAYS?

If your child isn't sure how to approach this task, or just tends to put off projects like this, I want to help.

Hi. I'm Jess, and I help high school students write college application essays that not only capture the attention of their chosen schools, but that also help the student discover and celebrate their own uniqueness and life experiences.

Even parents and teenagers who normally get along often squabble and butt heads when it comes to the dreaded college application essay. I help families navigate through this time that is both fraught and exciting, productive and often challenging.

Working with me will ensure your child's application essay doesn't fall into the canned predictability of most applicants' submissions. I can help make sure the admissions reader notices your child's essay amidst the thousands of others that answer the same prompt.

Summer is the perfect time to complete the common app personal statement, so it’s not weighing on you when school starts in the fall. I have availability throughout the summer and would love to work with you. You can book a 15-minute query call by clicking here.

About Me

Jessie Rothwell, founder of Wavemaker Words, LLC, helps students craft admissions essays out of their individual life experiences and views. Her approach is based on the belief that, when it comes to college admissions essays, while there may be no new story under the sun, students can differentiate themselves in their writing.

With 20+ years experience writing and editing, and a handful of publications, Jessie helps her clients to avoid the common pitfall of sounding cookie cutter in personal writing, by getting hyperspecific and personal in the creation of their story.

“Sara received acceptances to all six schools she applied to and one of the school counselors said her essay was interesting and what they were looking for.”

Jon Argaman, Writer

“Jessie has a knack for asking deceptively simple questions until it becomes super super clear where I'm stuck and what I can do about it.”
