Many of you have seen
this thread, and I urge you to keep it in mind (and don't forget to fill out the forms for the
FIRST Scholarships!). I have so far used my editing skills to have two different people honored with a scholarship, and you could be next. There's over $2000 gone to college expenses, with my help. Don't gamble with a potentially silly mistake- have someone else look over your efforts.
I would like to further extend my offer to
Woodie Flowers Award and Chairman's Award submissions. With that said, I'd like to state that
- The confidentiality of your submission will be kept, if you desire so. I will not share the entries with anyone.
- I will have your submission back to you within 24 hours (if not immediately), or warn you in advance if it will be longer. Only in very rare situations is this the case.
- I will edit and re-edit as many entries as you would like me to.
- I will NOT write your entries for you. I will make suggestions, offer advice, and edit grammatical errors. You must write the actual content for the submission yourself.
- I will give you tips and advice on how to write for FIRST judges.
However, all you have to do is ask. Make sure you have read over the criteria for the awards, also. Grammar, spelling, punctuation, and coherency is a HUGE part of these awards and judging. Look at past WFA submissions and Chairman's Winners and this will become apparent. I'll look forward to receiving entries.
Good luck and happy FIRSTing,
Amanda Morrison
