Professional Development

• Clients

As I transitioned into my career in medicine, Gail helped to refine my writing skills. She provided clear and concise feedback to improve my style, grammar, and word choice. Since working with Gail, I know that my writing is now more succinct and effective. She taught me how to proofread my work effectively and I often think about her corrections while editing. She is meticulous and thorough. I still use the writing tools while working on current research proposals and manuscripts. After working with Gail, I am a more confident writer and am proud that some of my work has been published in academic medical journals. — Marisa B.

• Colleagues

Gail and I worked together on a research study. As the primary liaison between participants and the intervention team, I wrote letters to participants, process notes, and study materials. Gail taught me that less is more: keep writing concise. I’m a supervisor myself now, and share Gail’s advice with my patient advocates. Clear, engaging, direct writing is best. I should probably add that Gail has a great interpersonal style. She is passionate, fun to work with, and very supportive. — Lucy B.

College and Graduate School Applications

• Parents

I cannot recommend Gail from WorksWrite enough. My son is a well-rounded leader and a high-achiever academically. However, that guarantees nothing in today's extremely competitive college admissions game.  Due to distance, we live near NYC, Gail Skyped with my son. After their first session, he exclaimed, "Gail is great! She definitely knows what she is doing." Gail did not write my son's essays. She made suggestions and kept him organized with his fifteen applications and numerous deadlines.  Again, our family is forever grateful for Gail‘s positive attitude and professionalism. She not only provided tremendous guidance to my son but helped take the stress off my husband and me during this particularly hectic time in our lives. — Leslie D.

My Daughter loved working with Gail for her college essays. She is an amazing coach and writer. Gail encouraged my daughter to truly show who she is in her college essays. Deadlines were set and lots of nudges were given when needed. Gail has the ability to be extremely keen with her critique of the written word. The final products were amazing. — Laina C.

I was stuck. The college application process was catching up to me. I could not find a topic for my common application essay. Then came Gail Agronick. She helped me regain confidence and motivation. We spent time creating an agenda and checklist for each session. This ensured that I was on track for application deadlines. Gail encouraged me to write about topics that shared significant parts of myself, then helped me to hone my essays with constructive and honest feedback. By the end, every sentence was purposefully structured. I am forever grateful for her time, patience, and guidance. I could not thank you enough, Gail! — Alexandra C.

The college essay writing process was especially lengthy for me because I applied to fifteen colleges. Gail tutored me over a period of many months, ensuring that all my essays were high quality.

Her teaching made me a better writer overall. — Jefferey D.
