Did you create and publish on your own or did you have a team?

Accepted Answer

I self-published The College Visit Journal: Campus Visits Demystified, but in no way was this an individual effort. I relied heavily on my own experiences, and on those of friends and family who recently went through the college visit process to come up with appropriate content. Then, I leveraged my friends and connections within high school counseling groups and higher education to validate my assumptions. If you're curious, you can read more here.(javascript:void(0))
