I'll edit your crappy undergraduate (or grad-level) writing. You'll especially need this if you're not well-educated or talented in the social sciences and humanities. My training is mostly in the former, actually, so more prosaic academic writing is my specialty. I can do creative nonfiction and have had some published but my writing for the newspaper was as an opinion columnist, and my (75-page) Honors thesis was a (probably overly editorial) literature review. I've done a couple (500-level) doctoral sociology classes and am now in law school. I passed legal writing (it was S/P/F), so I can do that, but I don't love it. The only thing I can't help you on is poetry. Creative writing--I mean, I read a novel a week--but I can't write myself. So, I can edit that for grammar and readability, but don't expect much help on character development or any great insights.
