Session one: We will discuss the mechanics of a good essay and brainstorm your essay topic. By the end of the consultation, I will provide you with a detailed essay outline so you can hit the ground running with your first draft.
Session two: We will read through your first draft and make adjustments as needed. This session will focus on content, organization, and tone.
Session three: We will go through the essay with a fine-tooth comb and polish it at the sentence level. This session focuses on diction, syntax, and making sure that your individual voice comes through.
