College App Essay Kickstart Workshop

A 2-Hour Workshop to Help Students Start Their College Application Essay

With Clarity and Confidence

Presented by Amy Hauser,
Founder & Owner of Red Pen Studio.

Hi, I’m Amy, the founder of Red Pen Studio. I bring a unique mix of experience as a teacher, professional writer, editor, and proofreader—and as a mom of a college student and a high schooler currently navigating the application process. I know firsthand how stressful the college essay can be for both teens and parents. That’s why I created this workshop: to offer clear structure, expert guidance, and a supportive space where students can confidently get started—and maybe even enjoy the process.

Save My Spot

In this workshop we will:

Brainstorm Authentic Story Ideas

I'll guide students through prompts and exercises to help them uncover meaningful, personal stories—without trying to sound “impressive.” By the end of this section, each student will have a shortlist of potential essay topics that reflect who they are.

Build A Strong Essay Structure

We will create a structured outline to guide their draft, so they will know what they need to write, with the clarity and confidence needed to write it.

Receive Feedback from Peers

Students will have an opportunity to share their ideas and feedback, as well as brainstorm with each other in a supportive environment.
