Description

Join Samara for another installment of our Live Review sessions!

During this event, Samara will choose writings submitted ahead of time to review LIVE on air. Any type of writing is welcome in this review — college and scholarship essays, CVs, papers for class, articles for your school’s newspaper, or even personal projects of your own. For each piece, Samara will walk through what you’ve written, paying particular attention to any special review requests, and offer suggestions for improvement.

You can submit your writing for review to this form!

The wit, candor, and strategy Samara brings to collaborating with clients has been highly effective.
