Writing your college essay is an opportunity to show your best and most authentic self. It shouldn’t be a source of stress and worry! During these workshops, we’ll demystify the process as we walk through the stages of writing from brainstorming and drafting through revising, editing, and polishing. Students will write in class, then share and receive feedback through a combination of group, peer, and brief one-on-one instructor consultations. When the workshop is done, you should be well on your way to an authentic essay that will grab college admissions’ attention.

INSTRUCTOR: Prisha Mehta is a writer from northern New Jersey, and they love teaching, writing, and teaching people to write! A graduate of Yale University’s English, Creative Writing, and Education programs, they are the recipient of both the the John Hubbard Curtis Prize for an Outstanding Creative Writing Portfolio and the Jonathan Edwards Creative Writing Prize. Among other literary magazines, their work has appeared in The Baltimore Review and Mud Season Review. Prisha loves teaching short/flash fiction, speculative fiction, and personal essay. They also love working with soon-to-be college students on their personal statements, helping them build up the foundational writing skills that will make their essays feel genuine, lively, and memorable. When they’re not writing, you might find them reading, cooking, needle-felting, or designing tabletop games!
