Class Description
Have you wanted to take a writing class on the personal essay, but can’t make it into Grub Street HQ? No matter where you are in the world, now you can. In this online course, you will write and revise one short personal essay and explore the art of the personal essay through writing exercises, craft articles, and published essays. You will develop a short essay from an idea to a solid revision. During the weekly live meeting online, you will receive feedback on your writing and discuss the class readings. This course is for novice writers or more experienced writers looking to dive into a new genre. Expect to spend about three hours a week on the course.
