About the Book

At last. A short, practical guide that gives students everything they need to write the types of essays college admissions officers want to read. How to Write an Effective College Application Essay: The Inside Scoop for Students is for students, high school counselors, parents and others who want to help students get into the colleges of their dreams. This easy-to-follow guide offers insight from the authors' decades of experience as writers and writing teachers and provides tips so students can respond to any application essay prompt. Most well-meaning experts merely tell students what colleges want; Lifton and Knoppow provide step-by-step instructions that teach them how to write strong, effective essays, with less stress and greater confidence. As national experts on writing and application essays, with access to top admission officers from around the country, Lifton and Knoppow have answers. How to Write an Effective College Application Essay is part of the Inside Scoop on Writing Anything series - simple, straightforward guides to help adults and students master challenging writing tasks.
About the Author: Authors Kim Lifton and Susan Knoppow are co-founders of Wow Writing Workshop, a strategic communications and writing company specializing in college and graduate application essay and scholarship writing coaching. Lifton has been reporting, writing for business and nonprofits, and teaching students how to tell their stories for three decades. Knoppow has more than 25 years of experience working with students of all ages. She has taught college- and high school-level creative writing and composition and has created courses on a myriad of subjects for corporate clients nationwide. This is the author's second how-to guide in a series. "How to Write an Effective College Application Essay: The Inside Scoop for Parents" was the first. The authors speak often to high school and parent groups about the role of the college essay within the competitive admissions world, and frequently moderate panels of admissions professionals from the nation's top universities at industry conferences. Their articles on the college application essay and other topics appear regularly in a variety of publications, in print and on the web.
