Watch out for debski - his posts paint a picture of him being dishonest. on one thread he says:
Quote:
U-m
I was formerly at U-M though not in Admissions. I'll look at them.
Then on the official U of Mich chances thread he posts his stats and that he is applying this year. Beware - he may be a professional writer, but why is he lying?

As I wrote, I am a former faculty member of University of Michigan but was never in Admissions. I posted stats for a student whose essays I am reading. I am a professional writer and journal editor with a child who will apply to college next year; thus my interest in this website. I am happy to critique the occasional essay, but, believe me, I am not applying to college and I am not interested in stealing essay material. (I have too much of my own already!) Debski

I can definitely vouch for debski... He/she cleaned up my essay and was rather prompt about it... did it within one-two day's notice

I've also gotten a very quick reply.

And I also recommend ColdWind.

I read essays under these conditions

1) It is near a final draft. I don't do shoddy work.
2) You put genuine effort into it. I want to know
what your writing capacity and style is, so my
critiques can be applied.
3) It is not due for at least a week. Some essays
require more time than others, and I put a lot of
attention into each essay.

I have done essay grading for over 3 years now,
on this account and my old one. I have referrals
that can verify my ability. I do this mainly to help
people as I received much help over my CC tenure,
but also because I enjoy brilliant writing. Occasionally,
I read an exceptional essay that simply makes me
smile.

Please, only respond to me through email. On your email,
fill in the according information.

1) Your CC username
2) Your essay prompt and what school it's for
3) The word limitation on your essay

Also, expect my critiques to be brutal.
I only do it because I care about you. None of
that "ohh, it was a good essay but maybe work on
your transitions" better fluff. If you want fake, shallow
critiques you came to the wrong person.

Just my .02
