“I have used Marilyn’s services for several documents within the last three years. She has edited/reformatted my resume, statement of interest and recommendation letter for Master of Science program I applied to in 2012, and 2014 Leadership Pine Bluff application. I'm very happy with her work and will continue to come back for any writing, editing, or formatting, services and advice.”

David King, the previous Regional Resource Development Director for the Little Rock, AR Salvation Army Office, described the grant proposal that Marilyn Jones wrote as "well-written, well-thought out, and has energy." He said that the proposal looked great, and he told the founder of the grant that he "would be sending a proposal that would knock his socks off."
“Marilyn came to us at the Salvation Army in Little Rock, Arkansas to offer her services to us pro bono as a way to give back. We gladly accepted her assistance in applying for local grants that would go towards our homeless shelter and homeless prevention programs. Ms. Jones was able to win an award for us. I am grateful for her skills in researching and grant writing.”
—James Taylor, Tulsa Area Commander (Previously Little Rock, AR Area Commander)
“I needed someone to edit my personal statement for law school and take it to another level. I felt that what I’d written wasn’t captivating enough or a heroic story of someone ‘making it’ despite economic restraints. Considering that I had to write about an economical challenge I’d faced, I felt stuck because money was never a problem. A friend referred me to Marilyn. After learning about me and asking wise questions, she revamped my entire statement. Her solution to my problem was to ‘put a spin’ on the topic of overcoming an economical challenge by making the focus about me overcoming a ‘self’ challenge, a story of me being in my own way and overcoming that. Since I couldn’t relate to the topic given, she told a story about who I was and my goal in a way that represented my true story. This statement she revised not only satisfied the requirement but indirectly provided answers to specific questions the admission committee likely would have about previous scores, etc. Marilyn is a great writer, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again!”
