Hello, my name is Holly Maraist. I have a BA in English with a concentration in Literature from the University of Mary Washington. I aspire to be a librarian in the future.

One of the essential skills required for being a successful attorney is the ability to present an argument, whether orally or in writing, in a way that persuades the reader or listener to adopt your position. You not only have to sell your case, you also have to sell yourself. As a litigator, this is a skill I have spent years cultivating. Whether you are applying for admission to a university or arguing a case before a jury you will need the power of persuasion. I can help.

My background in law and research has provided me with exceptional written and spoken communication skills as well as a comprehensive knowledge of how to present professional documents. I have a degree in English literature and my work as a paralegal and legal researcher have helped me develop a clear and concise writing style with great attention to detail.

British qualified commercial solicitor (non-practising) with legal experience working in Intellectual Property Litigation, Real Estate, Private Client and Financial Services. Also experienced in the media sector, having worked for MTV Networks and EMI Music.

With over 14 years of experience in publishing and internal/external communications, accuracy and attention to detail are my hallmark qualities. My strengths lie in thoroughly researching a process to understand its value and uncover its weaknesses, then creating an effective schedule that carries a project from conception to completion. Furthermore, I thrive on working with teams, collaborating and developing ideas while maintaining a clear personal direction and responsibilities.

I have a Bachelors in Sociology and a Juris Doctor from Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC. I am an avid reader, but studying law made me an avid proofreader. I look forward to helping you with your writing goals!

Advising, editing, and proofreading for college application essays and other academic writing

As a graduate student, I do a lot of editing. The hardest thing about editing is erasing, and nobody likes erasing something he or she has written - especially if it's something written about your life! I can help you make the decisions based on what employers/admissions like to see. Also, because I study negotiations, I spend a lot of time studying techniques of persuasion, and I can use those techniques to help rewrite your materials so that you sound like the amazing candidate you are!

I am a graduate of London (B.A.), Oxford (M.St.) and Cambridge Universities (M.Phil) and am now finishing my D.Phil. (PhD) at Christ Church, Oxford. I have worked as a freelance journalist and sub-editor for international publications including The Financial Times and Frieze. I have also taught undergraduate courses at Oxford for the past five years and have been an admissions interviewer at Christ Church, Oxford.

After earning a B.S. in Labor Relations from Cornell University, I continued my education by obtaining a Juris Doctor in Law. I have worked as a researcher for more than six years for Cornell University. Additionally, I have worked in legal support positions for federal and state governments.
