What people are saying.

Olivia is one of the most passionate, dedicated, and optimistic writers I know.

In my application for graduate school, she helped me talk through essay ideas and form them into colorful sentences that spoke directly to who I am as a person. Writing can be challenging for me, especially with the pressures of college and graduate school applications. Olly helped me brainstorm, structure sentences, and edit in a calm and collected way - all making the process much smoother and less stressful.

she was always thinking of ways that would make my writing stand out.

I really liked Olivia's style of suggestive writing. She was always thinking of ways that would make my writing stand out, yet also sound clear and persuasive. The best part for me was how easy it was to talk with her and how she would always go the extra mile to make sure I produced the best essay!

Olly is always enthusiastic about reading my thoughts. She always provides me with great feedback and support of my ideas.

Olivia has helped me write, edit and review my travels blogs, especially on our adventure to Sydney and the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. For several years now, I have written a descriptive travel journal highlighting each exciting trip I take throughout the world. My friends and family have commented on how much they enjoy reading about trips as they feel like they are traveling with me on each new travel expedition. Every day, I would draft my travel log and give it to Olly to review. She offered my writing a critical set of objective, fresh eyes and helped me bring out the best in my writing by pulling out my own voice to help it shine through.

Her editing made me feel challenged and valuable as a writer. What I really appreciated about her is that she helped me capture my narrative and encouraged me to find the best word choices to describe what I was experiencing and feeling each day of my travel journey. Olly helped me filter and amplify my own experiences so that I could help my readers discover what is truly worth their time to read. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a fantastic editor, storyteller or writing partner.

Whenever I made an appointment at the Seattle University Writing Center, I asked for Olivia because she is a great editor, an honest person, and has a passion for helping others.

I knew Olivia from a Seattle University Writing Center for nearly three quarters. Olivia is not only a great editor, but she is also a great human being. She helped me with nearly all my research papers for my graduate classes at that time. She consistently went above and beyond to assist me, always making sure that all my projects were free from grammar mistakes and redundancy. I have learned a lot from her, including how to write strong thesis statements and proper citations. Each time after my session, she gave me valuable feedback and additional information on how to improve my grammar in the future. I am so glad that she opened her own business, and I recommend her to any person who needs help with academic editing.

Olivia’s services were invaluable to my writing process.

Like many others, I struggle to sit down and start writing. I'll check my emails, do homework, clean my apartment - anything to avoid sitting down and thinking about what I want to say. I usually draw a blank and don't know where to begin, especially when it comes to personal essays. That's why I reached out to Olivia. She was quick to respond and helped me pick which services would fit my needs. In the end, we decided on a brainstorming session and real-time virtual work session. 

Normally, I draw a blank and feel way too intimidated to begin writing, but Olivia made it easy and fun to think about what to say by drawing out my story . After our brainstorming session, I was able to write my personal essays with ease. In our virtual work session, I was able to talk about her in-depth comments and suggestions in order to finalize my essay. With her help, I wrote a fantastic personal essay that draws the reader in and keeps them reading because of its great narrative. One of my academic advisors that reviewed my essay said that after serving on a graduate school admissions committee for three years, she was "floored!" by my essay which “hit all the marks AND was an interesting and fun statement to read".

Olivia has helped me with countless cover letters, college papers, and scholarship application essays.

She is excellent at reviewing a piece of writing and immediately understanding the message the author is trying to get across. Whether I am in a rut, or I just need an extra set of eyes on something, Olly is always the one I ask first.
