Sinopsis

Escape Essay Hell! is a fast-and-easy guide to writing narrative-style essays for college application essays.

Janine Robinson, a former journalist, magazine editor and English teacher who has tutored college-bound students on these essays for the last decade, acts as a personal writing coach to guide and cheer students through this dreaded process.

College admissions experts advise students to "Tell a story" or "Make the essay about you!" or "Stand out!"

And this is all correct. But no one ever explains exactly HOW to do this.

Until now.

In her short-and-easy guide, Janine takes students through 10 simple steps to find engaging topics and then craft compelling "slice-of-life" essays using storytelling writing techniques.

Students will learn how to identify their unique defining qualities, power their essays with engaging real-life stories called anecdotes, and use an effective Show and Tell writing formula.

Escape Essay Hell! helps students write personal statements for The Common Application, state universities (University of California, University of Texas, etc), private colleges (from Harvard and Yale to smaller liberal arts schools, such as Brown, Wellesley, Rice, Pomona, etc.), graduate school, transfer and scholarship essays.

By following these simple steps, students will escape Essay Hell in no time at all---and have their best shot at landing in their dream school (often despite less-than-stellar grades and test scores)!

Descripci�n de la librer�a

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
