Awesome
Prof. Colonna is amazing! Our grade comes from 3 essays that we are well-prepared for. Class is mainly reading and discussion based. It wasn't difficult but he's very caring that you wouldn't want to miss class or disappoint him. Readings are pretty interesting and he really does a great job of making you think about life and society. 10/10 would recommend him!

Writing & Editing
Joseph
Colonna
Greater New York City Area
I earned my master’s degree in writing from Columbia University, where I also earned my bachelor’s, and am currently a Lecturer in English at Parsons (the New School) and at Fordham University. I’ve also had the pleasure of teaching writing to cancer survivors at an organization called Gilda’s Club in Greenwich Village. Recently, my own writing has earned notice in the Tampa Review, where one of my short stories won the Danahy Fiction Prize, and in the New Guard Literary Review, where I have a story upcoming.
Throughout my career as a teacher, I’ve helped countless students in their writing. I’ve shared my enthusiasm for language and, I hope, made the process of editing a little less ominous. I believe I can be of help. I offer expert, affordable editing services for college admission essays and academic papers, and look forward to working with you.
