I don't know where to start.

It happens to the best of us. I offer video-chat consultations to help you brainstorm, outline, and get started writing your draft.

I have a draft already ... but I want it to sparkle.

No problem. My editing service includes proofreading, editing for higher-order issues like clarity and organization, and written feedback on your content.

This entire process is overwhelming. Help!

For clients who want expert support from start to finish, I offer a full-service package that includes unlimited edits and consultations.

My writing career started when I graduated cum laude
from Harvard College in 2012, where I concentrated
in English.I completed my MFA in nonfiction writing at the
University of Pittsburgh in August 2018, and I've
spent ten years helping clients get into their
top-choice schools.

I believe in storytelling's power to move admissions officers and help them see your story in the best possible light.That belief is based on results: My clients have earned admission to Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Princeton, MIT, Caltech, UChicago, Columbia, Brown, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and other top universities.

Thanks to Abigail, I have been accepted into Stanford and Yale! Beyond giving spot-on feedback and providing specific edits, Abigail inspires me to find my authentic voice in my essays and helps me translate my thoughts into eloquent words. If you work with Abigail, there's no doubt that she will make your application essays stand out and be unique to you. She is sincere, supportive, responsible, and readily available to help. I would 100% recommend Abigail for anyone applying to colleges or looking to polish their writing skills!

I have been accepted to my dream school, Yale, with the help of Abigail Lind. She is like a mind reader who edits your paper to write it in your own voice, but better. Sometimes I feel she knows what I meant to say better than I ever did. With full certification from Harvard, she is easily reached and readily available for you. If I were ever to apply to anything serious again, and I am sure I will, I will ask for her help.
