This generative, writing-intensive course will focus on the most important elements of writing personal essays while keeping you on deadline. We’ll start with evocative landscape, zoom into convincing characters, and make sure each of our essays comes equipped with a sturdy backbone of ideas. By the end, you’ll have something to show for yourself—and maybe something to publish. Perfect for any level of personal essay, whether you're a seasoned pro or just want to try your hand at something new. Come with or without an idea and leave with a solid draft.
Please note that our 4-week workshops do not include formal critiques, though there may be opportunities for informal sharing. If you’d like your work critiqued in depth, please see the 8-week workshop listings.
