The Essay Incubator is designed for all different types of essayists, including those working on essays that are personal/narrative in nature; lyric/experimental; reported/journalistic; or in other styles and forms, whether intended for literary, commercial and mainstream publications. Students will deepen their understanding of essay craft, forms and modes, and learn skills to revise their own essays while gaining practical insight and advice on publishing, the marketplace, and career-building as an essayist.

Here's what former incubees had to say about their Essay Incubator experiences:
