Class Description

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 possible publication for their half-a-dozen essay drafts!


Please note: Class will not meet March 14th.

Class Format

This class will take place in-person at our Center for Creative Writing in Boston's Seaport neighborhood.
