Write Out Loud: College Essay Tips @ Words Maplewood

Write Out Loud: The Definitive Guide to the New Common App Essays

Book signing and tips from local author Carol Barash, PhD, founder and CEO of Story To College, who has taught more than 10,000 students and teachers how to write essays that connect with colleges for admission and scholarships. "When you tell your story in your voice, colleges listen," Barash explains. "The human love of stories is deep within our brains. It is the basis of human community. When you tap into your innate storytelling skills, you connect with people at the level of our shared humanity. This is much bigger than college applications. Whether you are applying for college, interviewing for a job, or asking someone on a first date, storytelling is key to your success."
