For counselors
You can only advise what you can see.
Most of your caseload is invisible until a draft arrives, usually late and usually generic. Admissions StoryMap shows you where each student actually is — what they've discovered, what they've shaped, what they're writing — and lets you comment on the work they hand you.
Already invited by a student?
A student sent you a link to connect with them. Open it to set up your account and see what they've chosen to share.

A real caseload picture
Every connected student in one list, with how far along their discovery, directions and drafts are. Useful whether you're watching over five students or fifty.
Comment where it counts
When a student shares a direction or a draft version with you, you can respond in place — they see it next time they open it.
Authorship you can vouch for
Each draft carries an honest record of where its language came from: typed, spoken, imported, or modeled on an example. Your feedback stays clearly separate from their writing.
The boundary, stated plainly
Students share with you on purpose, one thing at a time.
Connecting with a student shows you their progress, not their private writing. They choose which directions and which draft versions you can read, and they can end that access at any point — it stops immediately. In practice this is why what they do share is worth reading.
Join the Counselor Beta
It's free while we're in beta. We're opening counselor access gradually, a few professionals at a time, so the support stays good. Leave your details and we'll reach out when a spot opens for you.
