Your instruction is tailored to your individual needs and goals by your personal instructor. He or she is your private tutor, guiding you from your first assignment to one or more finished manuscripts you’ll send to a publisher. Your weaknesses are pointed out in editorial comments made directly on your assignments— along with suggestions for improvement. You learn what “needs fixing,” and you are shown how to fix it. Your instructor’s continuous attention to your steadily growing strengths and capabilities gives you a clear picture of your progress.

Your instructor’s personal letter discusses your assignment in greater detail and gives you an overall evaluation. It discusses problems in your manuscript and gives you specific instructions for solving them. It also recognizes your successful writing and the steps you can take to strengthen it.

You are not simply told how to write; your instructor uses course materials and texts as teaching examples and shows you how to master new techniques to shape and strengthen your writing, how to give it tension and immediacy, and make it “come alive” to the reader.
