"Hi, I'm Miles! I graduated cum laude from Harvard College with a degree in English. In the course of writing everything from travel guidebooks to poetry to political campaign statements to PR copy, I've come to understand the drafting and editing process intimately. I'd like not just to help you cross T's and dot i's, but to be your human vision board -- helping you craft unique approaches to make you and your writing stand out. Whether you're getting ready to apply to college, need a second set of eyes on a paper, or anything else, I'm glad to lend my expertise.
I've led workshops, assisted dissertations, and guided dozens of college applicants to acceptances at Harvard, Stanford, Brown, Penn, Dartmouth, MIT-Sloan, UPitt's 8-year medical program, London School of Economics, NYU, and UCal Berkeley.
In high school, I was named a National Student Poet by the Library of Congress and traveled around the US giving readings and advocating for creative writing (and got to meet the Obamas!). After four years at Harvard, I moved to New York City, where I play write and make music.
My specialties: Essay editing/proofreading, creative writing, literature, history, test prep (SAT/ACT, ISEE/SSAT, AP)
Looking forward to getting to know you!
