2009 Summer Associate Package

Make your summer program stand out with my live workshop and my recently updated custom resource, The Summer Associate Toolkit.

My summer writing workshop draws on my experience training thousands of summer associates to tackle the writing issues that matter most.

This year, your summers will also have a chance to take a special online writing assessment designed for their level and needs. They will receive confidential results and recommendations.
