Are you a college applicant looking to express your uniqueness on paper? I can help. Using an interview approach, we’ll explore, select, & structure the experiences that make you YOU. Then we’ll develop language that leaps off the page and catches the attention of admissions officers. Best of all? I’m not your mom.🌞
How long should I allow?
I recommend a minimum of 3 hours of coaching over 2-6 weeks ($350 package).
Session I: The Interview
Session II: Workshopping the First Draft
Session III: Polishing the Final Draft
Any of these steps can be repeated or extended as necessary at $100 per hour, billed in 30-minute increments. I prefer in-person for the interview; virtual can work
for other sessions. *Sliding scale fees available based on family income.
"I have had an amazing experience with Heidi! I got exceptional personalized guidance that took my essay from good to better. Her deep understanding of language helped me to construct an essay that conveyed the valuable traits that I wanted the admissions officers to see. Even if you have no ideas for what to write, Heidi provides different activities that stimulate your memories so as to create a base for a truly moving and memorable essay. I highly recommend WHISPERshout to anyone struggling with their essay or just needing a few finishing pointers--it's worth every penny!"

"With just a little over a week until the Brown early decision deadline of November 1st, A. came down with the flu. While she had started her essays in the summer, we knew she was not ready to submit and that she needed help finding her voice. I knew of only one person to call on for help--Heidi Mordhorst. She met with A. four times on Zoom and through fun exercises and engaging conversation she helped A. tell her story and share who she is in seven different essays. If you’re looking for someone to help your child write their story be sure to reach out to Heidi."
