About the Book

Hooking Up with Admissions Officers concisely provides clear guidance for creating a compelling college application essay. The first part of the book, emphasizing the importance of introspection as a means to stand out, highlights crucial differences between academic and application essays. The second portion serves as a resource for avoiding the mistakes college applicants commonly make in grammar, style and content. While this section is by far the heaviest, it's valuable for any writer. The final section of the book discusses finishing touches, including how to know when the essay is ready to submit. Although a book on essay writing easily could put someone to sleep, the author maintains reader interest by using a friendly voice and by peppering the pages with anecdotes about essays she has seen as a writing coach for college and post-graduate applicants. Furthermore, in the first and third parts of the book, she alternates her chapters with related posts from her award-winning blog for college-bound students. The book is not only informative, it's motivational. Here is what others have said: "I kept wondering if (this book) had been written by an admissions officer. ... The insights you provide should prove helpful to anyone using your book. ... I thought your comments were spot-on." --Paul T. White, Assistant Dean of Admissions, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore. "You included almost all of the advice I've heard into one place while still keeping it concise. ... The tone is the perfect balance between friendly, personal advice and an organized, informative guidebook. It will serve its purpose for students, families and consultants alike." --Erin Gross, student, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY; and college admissions adviser with Students4Students.
About the Author: Students working with Nancy Frieder, locally or through the internet, create college application essays that lead to acceptances to their top schools. Nancy knows what admissions officers want. She has gone through the process successfully with various clients and twice with her own children. She truly understands the stress applicants and their families face. No one can eliminate all of the turmoil, but Nancy alleviates it. She bolsters confidence and reduces the "nag factor." In 2013, the governor of Maryland issued her a community service award for her blog about writing college application essays. She and her husband are empty-nesters in the Maryland suburbs of Washington, DC. Their dog, Fez, reaps the benefits. For more information on getting help from Nancy, go to www.WriteStuffHelp.com
