“I believe that our personal stories are what make us human and connect us to each other.”

“Hayley made the whole writing process feel so natural, which took a lot of the pressure off. She did not simply write the essay for me, but rather urged me to answer certain questions that happened to be crucial in the end. I’m so grateful to have had her as not only a writing coach, but also as a mentor.”

“I am so glad I worked with Hayley on my toast for my daughter’s bridal shower! She helped me to say everything I wanted to say with the perfect doses of humor and heart. I would highly recommend her as a speechwriter.”

“Hayley was wonderful to work with. She was very patient and thoughtful in her advice, and she helped me sculpt my medical school admission essay into a great story.”

“I had the most pleasant experience working with Hayley Brooks. She was available throughout the process and produced my resume within the timeframe that I needed. I cannot say enough about her professionalism. I look forward to working with her again.”

“I worked with Hayley for a graduate school personal statement and my brother worked with her for a med school personal statement. I cannot recommend Hayley any more highly! She makes the whole process, which I found incredibly daunting, really straightforward and even empowering.”

“I think one of the most difficult things to do is to speak about yourself. Hayley was able to pull the story out of me. It flows so naturally and I know that I would not be able to create a piece like this on my own.”

“Hayley was so helpful with my college supplements! She knew exactly how to inspire me to write the best essays that I could. She has a very creative mind which helps students come up with ideas that are out of the ordinary.”

“Hayley’s patience and thoroughness with her work make me want to come back again and again and recommend her far and wide. Hayley’s attention to detail brought both my resume and cover letter up many notches! Can’t wait for the next time.”

“When I spoke to Hayley, I did not feel as if she was my “tutor;” I felt that she was just an unbiased friend that helped me sort my thoughts and relay them into writing. Hayley is reliable. Her edits were honest and improved my work nearly every time. She has a talent in editing and still maintaining a piece’s original voice. I cannot thank her enough for really helping me develop my own writing, and not writing for me.”

“Hayley has helped me write all sorts of content over the years. I completely trust her to convey and understand my tone of voice in every possible application - she is a gem and I am so grateful to her!”

“From initial ideation to substantive outlining and drafting to final polishing and proofreading, Hayley‘s expertise is obvious at each step of the writing process. What makes Hayley truly invaluable, though, is her instinct for storytelling. She has a rare aptitude for weaving what might have seemed like disparate—or even divergent—elements into a coherent story that authentically illustrates your best self.”

“After one session a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. Hayley is also is super fun and easy to talk to. It was really like having a friend coach me throughout this so called “stressful process.””

“Hayley is amazing! The final product would not have been nearly the same without her guidance, editing and overall enthusiasm! She coaxed so much out of me and my thought process went deeper and smarter than had I been on my own! Two heads are better than one and yet I feel that I remained true to my voice and message. I will never write anything without her!”

“I had an extremely positive experience working with Hayley on my college essays. I don’t think I would have ever finished them without her guidance and help from beginning to end! I am very appreciative.”

“Writing a medical school personal statement is a daunting task. I wasn’t sure where to begin or where to go with the writing. Hayley took all the stress out of the process. She facilitated what to write, how to write it and how to frame it. The editing allowed for an amazing final personal statement, and her quick response time was so impressive. I had complete trust in Hayley throughout the process. Thank you for making an intimidating task not only bearable but enjoyable.”

“When I was applying to law school, I struggled to convey exactly what was motivating me to do so in my personal statement. I didn’t want to be too political and my resulting statement felt inauthentic and lukewarm. Hayley immediately understood not only what I was trying to say but how to get me to say it on my own. Through careful prompting and thoughtful conversation, Hayley helped me put into words what I had been unable to before. She understands the admissions industry and how to encourage the writing the industry seeks without manipulating the student’s voice, for which I was so grateful. She was an incredible coach throughout and the best cheerleader – thank you, Hayley! ”
