Four hundred and eighty years ago, in 1637, the French philosopher, Rene Descartes, asserted the most fundamental principle that serves to affirm to the total sceptic one’s existence as “je pense, donc je suis.” The Latin version of this phrase, cogito, ergo sum, I think, therefore I am, entered popular discourse long ago. Founded in 2017, our press derives its name from the second half of Descartes’ formulation. Why leave out the verb? Because we’d like to leave it up to you, the reader of our books to fill in the blank.

The College Essay Guidebook: Writing a Powerful Story about Yourself ($14.99) by David Mandler is available on Amazon. This roadmap to self-discovery and effective writing includes:

* A comprehensive program of writing discoveries designed to culminate in an outstanding college essay
* A clear and concise explanatory section on grammar necessary for producing smooth prose and an essential checklist for revisions
* Practical advice on the writing and admissions process provided by ten high school seniors admitted to selective colleges and from two admissions officers
* Four college essays by Stuyvesant students, including analysis and writing prompts
* An appendix with draft progressions from two students admitted to highly selective colleges
