Additionally Join Power Hour Editing’s Amy Smith on Tuesday April 25th @ 6 pm in the auditorium for a jam-packed presentation - “How to Find and Communicate your WOW Factor in your College Essays and Application.” Where will you encounter writing on your application, and how can you stand out? How has the pandemic affected college writing requirements? Amy, a journalist, publicist, and college essay coach, owns Power Hour Editing and helps college-bound students jumpstart their process, stand out, amplify their unique voices, and power to the finish line. She’ll share her “Top Do’s and Don’ts” for college essays based on years of experience identifying trends and roadblocks many students face in the writing sections of their applications. And she’ll share excerpts from “rockstar essays” to demonstrate how to be authentic, creative, and communicate WOW in YOUR writing! Amy will identify steps you can take NOW to avoid the summer/fall crunch. (Perfect for Juniors - Also appropriate for 9 th & 10 th grade students interested in understanding the writing process). Register here, and you’ll receive an email follow-up with additional tips after the presentation -> https://forms.gle/GEw9TmXyHav4mgsHA
