Description
Schedule

In this fun, intensive class, over the course of six weeks, writers will produce six short essays (between 500 and 1,000 words each). Each week we will look at model essays, and students will respond to prompts based on the works we have read. They will bring copies of their completed essays to class each week, where they will read them aloud and receive on-the-spot feedback in brief workshop sessions. At the end of the class, students will leave with a path forward to pontential publication for their half-a-dozen essay drafts! Possible styles of essays we will cover, depending on the interests of the class, include the personal essay, the braided essay, the op-ed, the Modern Love essay, the humorous essay, the lyric essay, and the hermit crab essay.

Class Format

This class will take place using Zoom videoconferencing. About 15 minutes before your class is scheduled to begin, you'll receive an email from your instructor with a link to join the class meeting!
