“I labored over my essay for months before enlisting Elliott’s help, but once I did, she drastically improved my work in just a few hours. Other editors basically tried to write my essay for me, but Elliott ensured my voice still came through. She fixed the structure and made some suggestions that transformed my essay into something I was proud and excited to submit.”
