“The Art of the College Essay had me at the first sentence.  Glancy’s writing is powerfully direct — a hand reaching out to grab you by the collar.  “You can do this,” she tells us. “I’ll show you how.”

“Readable, funny and smart, The Art of the College Essay takes the anxiety out of the writing process and replaces it with a completely organic, common sense way of getting to the heart of what you’re going to say.  It is the book on the subject of writing college essays.”
