This workshop will teach you how to:
Build and leverage audience awareness
Cast a spell on your reader with your storytelling (and avoid breaking that spell)
Replace common anecdotes with unforgettable scenes and images
Establish high stakes and suspense
Turn generic summaries into individual characters
Show your stories rather than “telling” them
Applying these strategies to a personal statement or college essay will deliver a clear value proposition to an admissions committee.
If, after viewing this workshop, you would like to schedule a consultation or full coaching session, or if you’d like an estimate for my editing services, please see my website: www.joshuadolezal.com.
Testimonial from a recent client applying to PhD programs in the biosciences:
“Getting to work with you has seriously improved the quality of my writing and has also helped instill confidence in my work. I feel more prepared as I work through my other essay questions and statements, and that's a great feeling. I really appreciate your help.” — G.A.
