Our daughter wrote an essay for the Common App, and after several drafts, we thought we were ready to submit. Fortunately, we heard about Mrs. Novak’s services, and after she was done with it, the essay turned into a masterpiece! Because of Mrs. Novak, we are receiving multiple college acceptances and our daughter is headed to one of her top choices! Mrs. Novak has an amazing gift, and we would highly recommend using her expertise!
Mrs. Novak was one of the most impactful teachers during my high school years. Still to this day, I give her a lot of credit in the way I developed my writing skills. In high school, she personally helped me through the college application process; mainly, the essay portion. She helped me construct my essay in a way that brought the most out of myself. With the help of Mrs. Novak, I was accepted to all my top schools.
We had the pleasure of working with Marisa last fall. We reached out to have her help with our son, Caden’s, college essay. From the moment we spoke we felt heard. Her passion for helping others was evident. She was attentive to our needs and put Caden’s mind at ease. Her promptness, flexibility, and easy-going personality made the whole process stress free. Mrs. Novak is fantastic at what she does! We recommend her without hesitation.
Marisa and I developed an educational program geared toward providing citizens an inside view of our city’s operations. Given her unique perspective and excellent writing skills, Marisa was a perfect writing partner. Her writing reflects a tone and word choice that captures a diverse audience and clearly communicates main ideas. We created such strong curriculum that the city still uses it today, over ten years later. Marisa’s collaborative writing style is easygoing and confident. She is a master thinker who provides insights that others may miss. She is exceedingly qualified to write/speak on behalf of those whom she is ghost-writing for and brings strong editorial and content creation skills for those needing her services.
Marisa was a joy to work with! She did an excellent job generating content month after month for our publication. She provided excellent writing, editing, and proofreading that kept our publication fun, relevant and engaging our audience.
