An essay isn't a list or a summary of what you read - and it's not an explanation of what different authors think about a topic or an idea. 

It's an invitation to add your voice to the conversation.

It's an opportunity to figure out who you are, what you believe, and why you think the way you do - and share all of your discoveries with others.

And that's why a lot of essays don't score top grades.  

So, why does saying something of our own make so many of us break out in a cold sweat? Do some of us just not have good ideas?

You've pinned down your topic and you've read 8 articles. You've got a pretty good handle on your topic and suddenly you think, "Oh shoot! I haven't written a word. I need to start writing."

You pick up an article and jot down a few important quotes and things you found interesting. You take a couple of moments to explain what an author said, but you don't want to start giving your opinions - after all, you don't want to sound like you're the expert. 

You feel stuck. You know you need to be objective and you don't want to speak out of turn. And, if you do take a chance and say something, what happens if the prof doesn't agree with you? Or, worse yet, what if she thinks you have no clue what you're talking about?


You decide to play it safe and explain what you've read. You can't afford another bad grade and you're really not sure what your prof's looking for anyways.

You don't have to a million new ideas. Heck - you don't even need to have one! But - if you want your essays to bring in those big numbers, you've got to join the conversation and mingle with the authors and experts you're discussing. 

In this resource, I not only set you up with actionable steps and word-for-word sentence starters to bring your thoughts and ideas to the surface, but I teach you writing strategies authors use to build authority and give their words power so you learn from the experts how to speak up with confidence

Full Disclosure.

As a student with lots of commitments, tight deadlines - and most likely a tight budget - I completely understand that you want to put your time and money into things you know will get you results.  While I understand and recognize your concerns, I don't offer refunds. I try to be as transparent and clear as possible in my product descriptions so you have all the information you need to make an informed decision. 

   On a final note, if you're not completely satisfied with your purchase or you feel like you were mislead by the product description, I appreciate feedback and certainly encourage you to share your thoughts and concerns with me. I strive to offer the best possible service to each one of my clients and I know that listening is the only way to ensure I achieve this goal.

Uhhh...because who doesn't love a Freebie? 

Ready to move beyond ordinary grades and say good bye to blank screens and late nights, but aren't sure which Illumination is right for you? No problem.

The strange thing about writing struggles is how easy it is to focus on fixing the symptom - because symptoms are obvious and frustrating. But the truth is, to really improve, you need to fix the root cause of the problem.

Think of it like this: after hours of scrolling on your phone, you end up with a pounding headache. The quick fix is to grab an aspirin, but the headache will keep coming back if the real issue - your endless scrolling - doesn't change. 

It's the same thing with writing. Struggling to start, feeling stuck, or running in circles with your argument? Those are the symptoms. What you really need is to uncover and tackle the bigger issue holding your writing back.

I've included the guide below to help you do exactly that: point you to the Illumination that targets your specific writing symptom, so you can finally break through and write essays that make your goals a reality. 

Keep scrolling and let's figure this out together!

Let's roll this out like you and I were in a 1-on-1 session together. You tell me what you say when you write, and I'll let you know where to start. 

I've done so much reading and I still don't know what to write.

root cause

You haven't read with a reading intention. You've read to learn, rather than to participate in the conversation.

what your profs say

"Your essay lacks focus" or "Your argument needs to be more specific."
