KM
“Wallace is the best editor and writing coach I have ever encountered — and I’m a harsh judge. She changes essays from interesting stories to compelling, door-opening narratives. Any chance I get, I tell colleagues and friends about her talent with words and ability to bring purpose and momentum to ideas on a page. Wallace does it all with a kindness, directness, and a sense of humor.”

“When working with Wallace, it was clear from the first moment that she would help me write an incredible piece. This was not just clear from her true mastery of the English language, but something much deeper. She most importantly guides you to a place of yourself that you didn’t even know you were capable of reaching. Her insightful and intuitive questions gently prod you to a retrospective place that truly produces great work. I was in awe by the end of the process of what she helped me to create. Each sentence is important with Wallace, and she shows you how important it is to say everything you mean as clearly and effectively as possible. She knows you want to be heard, and she makes that a reality. Wallace is truly one of a kind with her ability to guide such eloquent, powerful prose.”
company ethos
At the heart of our company is the commitment to excellence, truth, and beauty. A story (even if true only in essence), beautifully told, will always yield excellent work.
And, from experience (from myself and helping countless others), results often follow, whether that be a successful job application, college or university application, interview process, presentation, book, or other story.
We especially have experience helping people with more non-traditional backgrounds tell stories that can appeal to more traditional or conventional institutions or audiences.
The process of telling your story doesn’t need to be heavy or complex; if it unfolds through a conversational, low-pressure process, the outcome is often a simple, light evolution that ends with making your story plain.
