Hi again all,
I come to you in my hour of need.
I have to apply to graduate school. I've decided to apply for a master's degree in publishing in three UK universities (King's College London, Oxford Brookes and City University London) and I need to write a personal statement.
This is the hardest thing I've ever had to write. And I've experimented a lot with my writing... I'm just incapable to write about myself competently.
I know it's not a question about publishable work but think of all the benefits you'll get once I'm a top editor at your dream(tm) publishing house?
I'd appreciate some tips on how to go about doing this that I won't find on about.com or so. Those are not helping. I know I have to find a hook to grab them at the first paragraph, anyone who writes knows that
And if I could see examples of succesful statements, it'd be awesome too, to give me an idea.
Thanks
