Sometimes the smallest moment (or the shortest essay) holds the greatest revelation. In this online class you will write six personal essays between 500 and 1,000 words. You’ll generate a lot of material, refine your skills, explore challenges in style and voice, and take a fresh look at your life experience. We'll look at examples of published essays and discuss as a class. Each week, we will also offer each other targeted feedback to help each other identify the “heat" of our essay drafts, and how to develop them. You will come out of the course with fresh drafts of multiple essays and the insight, inspiration, and knowledge of craft to develop them into polished essays. We will read a wide range of essays from a variety of time periods.
