Writing Coach & Freelance Editor

Admissions Essays & Personal Statements

Though personal storytelling isn’t emphasized in classrooms, it’s how we communicate resilience, character, and potential. This includes undergraduate and graduate admissions essays, but the same skills apply to professional cover letters, job interviews, and networking.

Anecdote, uses a holistic, individualized approach to teach concept development, creative processes, and revision techniques. The result? Memorable personal narratives, and the skills to tell them over and over again.

Freelance Editing & Professional Copywriting

You’ve got a rough draft, but you’re still not satisfied. Or an idea waiting in the wings. Whatever you’re working on, let’s move it into the world!

As a reader at a highly selective literary magazine, I’ve learned what makes the best writing stand out: Voice, vision, and clarity. The same principles hold true for great marketing copy. From by-the-page substantive edits (think ideas, content, and organization) to last-minute proofreads (spelling and mechanics), Anecdote, editing services are designed to preserve your vision and voice, ensuring confidence when you hit “Submit.”

Entrepreneur & Small Business Collaboration

As entrepreneurs, our ideas and ambitions abound! But how to build the bridge from idea to reality?

From artists’ statements to website copy, ghostwriting to event design, my experiences in grassroots marketing, social media management, and creative direction have imparted a unique skillset: the ability to cultivate, prioritize, pitch, and bring ideas to fruition.

Creative consultation, event design, and copywriting services are collaborative, and I’d love to learn what you’re bringing to life.

Hi! I’m Alex,

Writer, creative consultant, outdoor enthusiast, and Anecdote, founder. As a private tutor, professional creative, and fiction writer, I’ve cultivated the skills to help you bring ideas to fruition via:

  • Creative concept development & brainstorming

  • Sustainable goal-setting and output planning

  • Strategies for organization, prioritization, and goal-setting

  • Using storytelling principles to drive engagement and results

  • Best writing practices, including rhetoric, grammar, mechanics, and formatting

  • Revision techniques, proofreading, and audience-specific editing

Every tool in my kit serves the same philosophy: for stories to succeed, they should be authentically told.

My hope is that students and entrepreneurs will gain widely applicable skills; a deeper knowledge of communication to be leveraged in situations ranging from freshman composition courses and grant applications to job interviews and small business endeavors.
