Self-study
Hi 7Sagers,
I’ve been dreadfully remiss in introducing three new members of our team, two of whom aren’t really new anymore. Better late than never, though!
First, I want you to meet Selene Steelman, who spent the last fourteen years reviewing files at the Cardozo School of Law. Selene’s bottom-up knowledge of the entire law school admissions process has already brought a new level of depth to our consulting and editorial services. In addition to sitting on Cardozo’s Admissions Committee, Selene directed the LL.M. Admissions department, so she’s an amazing resource for our international clients—not to mention everyone else. I feel lucky to work with her!
Many of you have already benefitted from the writing expertise of Kurt Pitzer, a journalist and author who’s published two books—The Bomb in My Garden and Eating with the Enemy—that were acclaimed by the New York Times. Kurt has written for numerous magazines and newspapers, and his documentary work in Bosnia, Serbia, and Kosovo earned him the Lange-Taylor Prize. No one who receives Kurt’s feedback would be surprised to hear of his success. Sometimes I pin his editorial letters to the wall and just kinda waft my hands towards my nose while I inhale, as if his words were an incense that could make me smarter. (Hasn’t worked yet.)
Finally, I want to introduce Aaron Thier, my former classmate and hair rival at Yale. (It really wasn’t much of a contest, though. Just look at this guy). Aaron is the author of the brilliant and stunningly inventive novels The Ghost Apple (a semi-finalist for the Thurber Prize) and Mr. Eternity (a finalist for the same award). His latest book, The World is a Narrow Bridge, came out this summer. I kept hearing about Aaron and his work as I went to book-type things in New York—including the book release party for 7Sage editor Amy’s story collection—so I was thrilled when he agreed to come on board. I still am.
Say hello in the comments!
