Craft the Right Message

Thank you for helping me with my essays! I really appreciate all of your help. Just wanted to let you know that so far I have gotten acceptance letters from Baylor, Auburn, Samford, OU, and Texas A&M. Thank you!

I met Stan a few years back when I was applying to business school. Stan helped review my MBA application, and gave me some pointers on how to improve both the content and the flow of my essays. Moreover, he provided valuable insight on what admissions officers may be looking for in a candidate... further helping me to determine what I should focus on in my writing.

Stan's warm and friendly personality, along with his capable coaching, made me feel confident that I was submitting the best application that I could put together.

And, by the way, I was admitted and matriculated to the Anderson School at UCLA, a top ranked MBA program.

Mr. Lemons' help enabled me to navigate my way through the labyrinth of the college admissions process. His book provided me with the facts and information necessary to understand what was going on. His personal guidance helped me organize my thoughts and goals to write effective essays, structure my time to meet deadlines, and find the colleges that were my best options. He also gave me advice on interviewing. Overall, he has been supportive and encouraging throughout my college search process.

Mr. Lemons was by far one of the most considerate and dedicated tutors that I had throughout my time in high school. When it came time to start writing my essays for college, I knew exactly who to reach out to; Mr. Lemons was able to provide me with the organization and help I needed. I know for a fact that my writing has only progressed with his help, and without his support and guidance I don’t think my papers would have been as strong as they were. Mr. Lemons is hardworking, dedicated, and wants to see you succeed and share in your happiness. I for sure recommend Mr. Lemons for help with not only your college essays, but also for any other writing assignment. His help over the years has enabled me to truly grow as a writer!

Stan Lemons and his company, The Secret to Writing, played an integral role in our successful college journey. As a busy working mom trying to balance both work and family in a pandemic, and staying on top of deadlines for college applications on behalf of our daughter, I needed a trusted resource to help us with the college application process. Stan provided that “missing piece” for our family. He was able to organize timelines for college essays and worked diligently with our daughter to help her craft essays that were reflective of both her strengths and achievements while in high school. Stan challenged her to dig deep and to think critically about the questions asked of her and from those numerous re-writes blossomed wonderful individual essays that truly captured who she is as a person and resulted in multiple college acceptances on her behalf. I would highly recommend Stan to assist your family as you begin your college journey.

Stan Lemons is an exceptional mentor, writer, and friend. I've never met a tutor who was strikingly dedicated to my success. We worked strategically for six months straight. He taught me how to formulate my thoughts, organize and draft my essays in my own writing style. I learned how to be confident in my writing and articulate well. He instilled bravery in me to voice my story. I'm proud of my improvements in essay writing. I'm incredibly grateful for Stan's motivation, coaching, wisdom, and patience. He has been an integral part of my success. I was offered interviews at Duke and Mayo Clinic for Nurse Anesthesia programs. I would highly recommend The Secret to Writing!
