Every year, a new group of incoming high school seniors faces the daunting task that is College Essay Writing. While the applicants and some of the questions change from year to year, the writing process doesn’t. Colleges and universities still don’t want to see trite analogies or generic tales of success. Rather, they want to see original essays that tell them something about the applicants’ lives.

“My son struggles with writing and I just want him to submit something that’s good.”

“My daughter doesn’t have the time to write all these essays!”

Some parents may take the “easy” route and have others do the writing for their children, but is that really the lesson you want to teach your kids? Wouldn’t it better just to give your children the tools and assistance that they need?

That’s what I offer. Your children may just need help with a final proofread of their essays to ensure there are no grammatical errors. Or, they may require additional help, starting with brainstorming and ending with multiple rounds of editing. Regardless, at the end of the process, your child will have an essay (or two or three) in their own voice that they wrote.
