Personal Statement Triumph: A Comprehensive Guide to the Law School Personal Statement
Personal statements can be hard because you have so much freedom. You can basically say anything you want, and that lack of guidance can cause a serious case of writer's block.
In situations like this, a little bit of direction can go a long way–so, in this book, you're about to get a ton of direction from personal statement consultant Margaret Klein Salamon, PhD.
Personal Statement Triumph gives you all the tools you'll need to create something that can put you over the edge when it comes time to apply for law school.
That's not to say you have to wait until you're done with your LSAT prep to write a personal statement. It can actually be a welcome distraction if you're hitting a wall after your 500th Logical Reasoning question.
Chapters
• Cracking the Conceptualizing the Personal Statement
• Connect to Stand The Four Goals of the Personal Statement
• Soul Searching Meets Planning the Personal Statement
• Where the Rubber Hit the Writing the Personal Statement
And each of those chapters has several sections within them. The book's short enough that you'll actually read it, but goes into deep detail on these topics (and others).

This book seems to offer quality advice.
That said, the number of typos in this piece published by a person that takes money from others in exchange for writing advice is beyond concerning.
