# Write a book on writing the college application essay
I'm after a book on ways to write the college application essay. It's a bonus to add to an existing product, so I'm not expecting something huge - probably 40-50 pages max.
I'm after a wide range of writing strategies, idea generating, selling yourself, align with colleges, student experiences, admissions officer expectations, what not to do, whatever! It should be a mix of serious and fun / motivational. It should appeal to teenagers applying to college and to parents of those teenagers. It should contain photographs, images, clip art to accompany and support the text.
Forthe content, I would like to have:
* each step with a catchy title/headline
* a description of exactly what the step entails (step-by-step instructions)
* the usual outcome of the method (eg 78% of people who use this method were accepted) if known
* any proof (anecdotal or otherwise) that the method works
* the origin of the method
* references to source material, ie where you got the information from (website, journal, individual's name, etc).
I would like as many steps as possible - the book will eventually be titled "20 steps to writing the college essay" or "50 ways to...", depending on how many we can get. In your quote, please tell me how many steps you can come up with for the price.
The book needs to be in conversational English, should appeal to teenagers but should also reflect worthy material to parents. It should not be technical, but needs to be grammatically correct.
Please note - the book is NOT about how to apply to a college but how to write the college application essay. It is about explaining the process of writing the essay to meet the expectations of college admissions officers.
