Daniel helped me with correspondence to a business partner for negotiating a new arrangement.
My contract was going to expire soon, so I needed to work out a plan that would protect me from uncertainties caused by COVID.
Daniel provided valuable analysis and strategy. His writing is simple but very clear and persuasive, which makes it possible to achieve win-win solutions. He knows how to use psychology to get excellent results.
Thanks to this assistance, everything worked out for the best. I also appreciated how he was always concerned about my needs, like a true friend.
Highly recommended!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - kira lee m.Aptos, CA04Jul 8, 2021
Dan Berman a first class professional and partnered with me to create a polished focused excellent resume! Dan's expertise as a wordsmith helped bring my skills and experience to life, while encouraging me! Professional athletes have trainers, Dan is like a professional trainer, and works side by side you figuratively. It is always wise to seek council from the best of the best. And as my sad would say, "The best costs just a little bit more."
Dan will partner with you make your material shine! Truly a joy to work with Dr. Berman.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Business owner information

Daniel is amazing at what he does! His assistance played a major role in my acceptance into a competitive graduate school. Many thanks, Daniel! I will certainly be recommending you to anyone looking for writing and editing services.
Daniel is super easy to work with and provides top-notch professional guidance. He is very patient, thorough and kind. You can immediately tell he's been doing this professionally for many years by how quickly he works and his ability to get a message across clearly and concisely.
To give you a little background, I was 3 days away from submitting my graduate school application when my husband suggested I have a professional writer review my SOP before submitting. I reached out to Daniel and he responded within the hour.
We met up in person the following day and he thoroughly reviewed my resume and transcripts. Then he took the time to understand my background and why I wanted to apply for this particular graduate program. I also addressed my concerns about applying to a competitive school and the major challenges I would be encountering. He kept all of this in mind when reviewing my SOP.
Daniel provided wonderful feedback and edits to my SOP based on my concerns and even suggested a few edits on my resume. We went back and read the SOP 3 times together to ensure everything was addressed and I was happy with the final outcome. After 3 hours, I walked out feeling not only accomplished but confident my SOP was as good as it would ever be.
The night before submitting my application, Daniel sent me an email to let me know he reviewed my SOP one more time and found a few minor suggestions. I was in awe and appreciative that he went out of his way to review the document one last time even though it was not prompt by me. Talk about exceptional service!
So here's my public announcement:
If you need any editing or writing services, you need Daniel in your life! You won't regret it because he provides valuable insight, not just grammatical edits, to make you stand out while still keeping your writing style and voice in mind!Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jeremy J.Oakland, CA27Dec 1, 2020Updated review
I sought Daniel's services for help in crafting a persuasive and cohesive personal statement for my application to a very competitive Masters program for Physician Assistant studies. Daniel was a pleasure to work with and went out of his way to ensure all relevant details were crafted into a strong, polished and ultimately successful statement. My acceptance into the program and current career as a PA has been absolutely life changing. His ability to weave together differing threads of myriad past experience and qualifications into a cohesive and cogent narrative surely helped my path to success. The acceptance rate for the year of my matriculation was 2.3%, and even with standout grades and experience, the vast majority of applicants failed to get in.
With all the hard work I put in to get excellent grades and the best work experience, I decided not to leave the personal narrative up to chance and sought Daniel's expertise to wrap everything up into the best possible statement.
I strongly recommend Daniel's services to anyone considering application to competitive graduate programs, careers, or anything that truly matters to you. You can rest assured that all the hard work you've done will be presented in the best possible light. As competitive as these programs and positions can be, I wouldn't leave anything to chance. Daniel is a consummate professional with rock solid credentials. I'm glad I entrusted him to help with my application and recommend him strongly.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0May 11, 2014Previous reviewUPDATE: Since my application has submitted with the help of Dan Berman's Writing and Editing Services, I have been accepted to my first choice grad school!! The odds were hardly in my favor, with 1848 applicants for 44 seats in this extraordinarily competitive program, but it happened ! I know that I certainly covered all the necessary bases, including those expressly stated as well as the unwritten ones, but I believe the concise and articulate package in which my narrative message was delivered was the standout feature that garnered me an interview. Only 2.38 % of all applicants were accepted.
If you are taking the application step seriously, which you must, I recommend Dan Berman's services to put the final, professional touches on your all important narrative essay. I may not have succeeded without it.Jan 12, 2014Previous reviewI enlisted the services of Daniel Berman for assistance in putting a professional gloss on my graduate school application personal statement. The program I applied to is highly competitive, and the need for a standout personal statement is paramount. He took the extra time to interview me and make sure there weren't any relevant topics I was leaving out, and seemed to know all the subtle details and turns of phrase that give additional information about the quality and fit of a candidate in just the right way. He did a masterful job of weaving all of my points together into a tightly cohesive, interesting, and properly toned narrative that has already gotten me an interview! I highly recommend Dan Berman's services and will retain them again in the future. The value of his service is well worth the investment. If you have done all the hard work of getting yourself into a good position when applying to a competitive graduate school program, don't let the all important personal statement be your weak spot. I recommend Daniel Berman's services highly.

I came to Dan to request his assistance with my Personal Statement and resume, as I was applying to a Computer Science Master's Program at an Ivy League institution. Although my grades and test scores were excellent, I knew that a stellar personal statement would be the differentiator in this highly competitive program.
With the application deadline fast approaching, Dan went the extra mile to accommodate my schedule. Dan did his research and conducted a short personal interview, and In a matter of two hours, was able to craft my story and ideas into a personal statement that effectively communicated my vision and intentions for the Master's Program. I was moved in reading what he had written. His skill as a writer is undeniable.
As a result of Dan's work with me, I was accepted into the Master's Program for which I had applied. I was informed by the Program Director at the institution that my personal statement had put my application over the top. I have Dan to thank for that. The feeling of reading the acceptance letter and the value of the opportunities that will come from my participation in the program far exceeds the cost of Dan's services. Definitely well worth the investment.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Nicole W.Diamond Bar, CA184179Mar 28, 2021
It was such a pleasure to work with Daniel. In two hours, he had shown me how to approach the essay prompts. From both a professional and personal perspective, and transformed my personal statement in to a much stronger application (of the prompts). I definitely felt more confident with my answers than before. Daniel is also very good at communication. I will highly recommend his service.

So lucky to have found Dan Berman on Yelp! Typed in personal statement editor and he came up and figured I'd try it since he had such great reviews. Well here is another 5 star! He has been so thorough and efficient with the entire process. Super professional and knows exactly what he's doing. I didn't have much guidance being out of school for so long and the internet really wasn't helping me so I knew I needed a professional. Dan knew exactly what I needed based on my specific application essay and tailored it accordingly. I now have the confidence that I am a competitive applicant. Well worth it!

I had not updated a resume in many years. I was glad to have found Dan to help me in the process. I was very pleased with the product that was produced. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. I would not hesitate to go back in the future. Dan's services are well worth it, don't hesitate to call him!

When I first contacted Dr. Berman at the beginning of the year, I was clearly aware of major challenges regarding my application to my graduate school dream program. Intuitively, I knew that there were problems with the statement of purpose (SOP) draft that I had written but I didn't really understand what they were.
When Dr. Berman proposed a complete rewrite, I was worried that the statement would no longer reflect my voice and message. Fortunately for me, I decided to trust in his experience and expertise. At the end of the process, I was truly amazed at the transformation that had taken place. Not only did my new statement conform to the length requirement but it was much more powerful, in fewer words. My voice and message had been preserved, while touching on all the key points. Dr. Berman patiently analyzed, point by point, the reasons for presenting the material a certain way, which made absolute sense. He made it seem so easy, though I realize that his system is based on many years of experience.
This assistance played a major role in the acceptance I was thrilled to receive in early March. I consider myself very fortunate to have come across his services. Though I hesitated at first about the fee, I now realize that as an investment in my future, it was quite reasonable. Relative to the benefits that I will enjoy over my lifetime as a result of admission to the program, the fee was really quite modestHelpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
