//For those of you in the midst of writing and revising essays (or thinking about getting started–but no, that’s not you, right?), Joe Schall has made his guide to writing essays for graduate programs and fellowships available online. You can find it at https://www.e-education.psu.edu/writingpersonalstatementsonline/ . It’s free through Penn State’s e-Education Institute. The online chapters offer advice on generating detail for personal essays, writing style as well as fellowship-specific advice.
