In today's episode we take a break from discussing and analyzing creative fiction to examining possibly one of the most important, and certainly most stressful, nonfiction projects in a young person's life: writing their college application essay.
Our guest, journalist Martha Mendoza, has been helping high school seniors with these essays for over a decade and is one of the organizers in her local school district's annual essay mentoring program. In our discussion she talks about what makes these essays so difficult, gives advice for how seniors might choose topics and how we, as writers, might help a student out.
Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday. Check us out.
