What People Are Saying.
"I met April in Los Angeles, and she completely changed the way I understood storytelling — not just on paper, but about myself. When I was applying to AFI, USC, and Tisch, I realized that even though I could make good films, expressing who I truly am through writing was much harder. April guided me patiently, asking sharp and thoughtful questions that pushed me to dig deeper into my experiences and emotions. She didn’t rewrite my words — she helped me discover them. Through each session, my statement became more personal, honest, and alive. April is one of the writers I respect the most."
— Bofan Wang, directing mfa applicant
“Working on my novel with April finally made me confident enough to move forward with Fiction MFA applications. She has a razor sharp sense of story, voice, and structure. With just the basis of my concept, she was able to suggest multiple beats to build out a meaningful arc for my characters. April also gave me a realistic assessment of my program readiness, which pushed me to apply to top schools. In one session together, she provided more insight than I’d received in months of other paid writing workshops. ”
— Jade Lacy, Creative writing mfa applicant
“April helped me with a short story for my MFA applications. With her guidance, I was able to reshape a dry, genre exercise with an unsatisfying ending into a lively and cathartic story which I can now submit to my applications with full confidence. Whether your story needs a total overhaul or if you just need that extra 10% of polish that puts your story above the rest, April is the person for the job!”
— Nikola Stojcic, English/Creative Writing MFA Applicant
“Working with April was such a great experience. She helped me find my voice and made sure my story actually showed my experiences instead of just telling them. There are literally over ten thousand applicants trying to make an impression, I definitely feel like my statement did due to April's guidance. I'm currently receiving offers from schools for interviews and am thankful to April for helping me reach this point!”
