(Scroll down to schedule a free consultation.)

What I do: I coach people on the art of crafting stories that grip their intended audience, whoever that might be.

Who I work with: I work with writers of many levels and forms, with a focus on high school, college and grad school students and applicants, professionals looking to improve their writing and public speaking, and anybody with a creative itch to scratch.

Why you should trust me: In addition to my work as a writer and creativity coach, I tutor young writers at 826NYC (where I was recently named volunteer of the month), mentor professionals from recent grads to execs, officiate weddings, tell stories at The Moth, and spent ten years mastering the art of professional writing and speaking as a startup founder and operator.

What you’ll get out of it: Through my coaching, you’ll find and hone your own singular writer’s voice.  You’ll come away with a finished written product that’s as authentic as it is impactful, and a crucial set of creative skills that will serve you through a lifetime of storytelling.

What my clients are saying:

Victoria S., mother of college applicant client

“Jasper worked with our daughter on her applications to 14 colleges this past season, covering everything from her personal statement to supplemental essays and questions. We were very impressed with Jasper's dedication and hard work. They spent a lot of time brainstorming, and he ensured that she took every single essay seriously and saw it as an opportunity to enhance her application with responses that were distinctive and representative of who she truly is and what she will bring to campus. He pushed her when she needed to be pushed and supported her when she needed to be supported. My daughter's school guidance counselor said that her personal statement was the best she had read all application season.  Our daughter had unbelievably good results, and we cannot recommend Jasper highly enough!”   

Angela A., client since 2022

“Jasper has been an amazing advocate and writing coach. I started working with him to sharpen my ability to tell my own career story, but it's become so much more. I'd never thought of myself as a creative writer, but our sessions together have opened up a newfound curiosity for writing, and a world of stories I want to tell. If you're looking to stretch in new ways this year and develop your creative muscle -- to help in your professional life and beyond it -- you have to work with Jasper.

I'll be forever grateful to him for encouraging me to discover and explore these new creative pathways in my life.”

Isaac Z., 2023 client

“I just locked in a new job that pretty much is exactly what I've been looking for this year. Working with Jasper helped me articulate my story and frame conversations in a way that ultimately helped me find the exact people I want to be around in my next role.”
