A Practical and Student-Friendly Guide

Every writer needs to identify a personal voice, attune to an audience and ascribe to the battle cry, "Show, don't tell". Sarah McGinty's guide employs a clear, supportive and engaging style offering strategies for achieving those goals in the application essay and in crafting effective essays of any kind. As a parent, teacher and guidance counselor, I have found this book to be a very useful reference source.
