About the workshop
Two essay drafts on the page in two hours? Is that even possible? YES!
Details
Are you stuck? In a writing rut? Want to try something new, explore ideas you’ve tiptoed around in the past, or just get some words on the page again?
In this class, we’ll read and write, using prompts to help you generate two new nonfiction pieces: one flash work of memoir and one personal essay! You’ll leave with two new drafts and a guided plan for revisions!
What you will learn
• Where to read and publish creative nonfiction • Generative brainstorming techniques • The basic structure of compelling creative nonfiction • Fast, straightforward editing techniques to take your writing to the next level!
Workshop takeaways
• Students will read short pieces, brainstorm, and then respond to prompts for both a flash memoir and personal essay. • Students will leave the class with two complete (or nearly complete) first drafts, as well as an editorial "cheat sheet" to help them plan next steps!
