Writing the Personal Essay
Everyone has a story that only they can write. A personal essay is like a micro memoir. It's a work of creative nonfiction, the perfect combination of intimacy and insight.
Transform your personal story into a published piece for major outlets with a wide readership. In this workshop, I'll share my nearly two decades of experience as a writer and editor, helping you find and use the most compelling part of your story to help get you published.
My past students have published their work in the likes of the New York Times, Huffington Post, Washington Post, and Elle, among other publications.
