The Better College Essay: From Start to Finish is published!

“The strategies and tips provided in The Better College Essay are practical, relevant, and most importantly, student-centered. It is a great resource for experienced counselors looking to add to their college counseling toolkit or for individuals new to supporting students through the college admissions essay writing process. The wide variety of real essay examples included throughout the book are fantastic for demonstrating how an excellent essay idea can emerge from conversations and lived experiences that students might otherwise overlook."
