News/Travel:I've formalized the schedule and outline for my 2015 Essay Writing Bootcamp, which will run in two 5-week sessions through June, July, and August.  (Session I will be June 23-July 21 and Session II will be July 28-August 25.) It's a great opportunity for juniors to focus and get one draft fully completed by the time school begins in the fall.Clients who sign up receive a 50% discount off the advertised price of $1,500.  PLEASE NOTE THAT CLIENTS WHO DO NOT SIGN UP WILL STILL WORK WITH ME ON THEIR ESSAYS DURING OUR NORMAL MEETING SESSIONS.The camp is offered to clients because it includes 5 hour-long one-on-one sessions with me (via Skype or Google Hangount) and unlimited essay reading hours, so it offers a package price for those who think they will need extra writing support outside of our normal work.  There is no obligation to sign up.Contact me with questions or to receive a copy of the full schedule and outline. Seniors:Dry but worth a read:  What does your college major say about how smart you are?Juniors:How can you boost those recommendations so they work well for you?
