Review Quotes
School Library Journal
“A highly recommended work for upper teens considering college or wanting to improve their writing skills.… Toor’s style is friendly, funny, and genuinely compelling, exhorting students to go deeper with their writing even (and especially) when the stakes are high. Toor doesn’t just tell readers to do better, she lays out useful tricks for how to get it done, interspersing her practical advice with well-selected supporting quotes from various writers.”
Stephen J. Handel, associate vice president-undergraduate admissions for the University of California System
“Toor’s book is one of the best I have read on this topic: lively, humorous, and engaging. She does more than help students write an effective college essay; she challenges them to create a personal statement that reveals the unique and vital elements of their character. This book could be used as a guide to help all students—not just college applicants—write a better essay.”
Daniel Golden, author of The Price of Admission
“Write Your Way In doesn't just offer expert advice on composing an effective college admissions essay. It's also a thoughtful, even inspirational, guide to the arduous craft of writing well, by someone who herself writes very well indeed. Every aspiring writer can learn from it.”
