writing...bah

I find it unjust that a prerequisite for getting into graduate school to study conducting is being able to write well.

[livejournal.com profile] kassrachel, if things are not fruitful this go-round, does the non-profit offer correspondence courses?

Fret not. You know several writers/editors. I've helped folks thru grad school application essays before. If you want help, I'm happy to provide some. And I have learned a lot about teaching over the years -- I promise I won't brutalize you. I'm certain you have the ability to write quite well -- you do so here, after all. Believe in yourself, and check your spelling and punctuation :-}. Or ask me to do an edit; I'll sit with you and go over everything and explain why I suggest certain things. I frankly don't care if you implement all or any of my suggestions -- all I care about is that you make conscious choices when presented with alternatives.

And there will be no makeup involved. ;-}

But really, your writing here has been fine. And I *do* know the difference.

Indeed we do. *g* In early '04 we'll start offering a ton of online workshops, in every genre imaginable. Plus we do private tutorial/manuscript consulting. So, say, if you have essays you want someone to help you with, just fire off an email and we'll work something out.

*hug* Happy Turkey Day!
