Writers Boot Camp East and West

Just this. To whom does our beauty belong? To the world, do we give our gift? Is it then there for their taking?

College Essay writing: start by brainstorming ideas about topics. Then, work on your first draft. Tell your unique story complete with description, imagery, and emotion. In subsequent drafts (usually two to five) we winnow the essay’s focus and tighten up your writing. Unnecessary words are jettisoned to make room for big ideas. You begin to structure those ideas to make the essay’s purpose clear. For each draft, we provide gentle but direct feedback about structure, style and language.
