- Can't make it live? The recording will be available within 1–2 business days.
Every Thursday in August, College Essay Guy is opening up Essay Office Hours, an hour where we read college essay drafts together and talk through what’s working and what could be even stronger. Want eyes on your own essay? You can bring your draft. Submit it and I may read it live and walk through it with you, first draft and all. No polished essay required. You’ll pick up specific moves you can borrow for your own writing and get a feel for what actually makes an admission reader lean in. Bring your questions too, and drop them in the chat as we go.
