Do you believe in the power of ordinary people to tell extraordinary stories?
This three-week class will focus on how to weave depth and connection into our personal essays. We will dissect the work of master essayists, give each other rigorous feedback, and foster a writing community that will continue to support us long after the course is done. As part of this advanced course, the participants will have access to resources and publications they can submit personal essays to. Lastly, each participant will receive a private consultation with the instructor. At the end of the three weeks, you will emerge more informed, more curious, and more confident to bring your writing into the world.
