2010 Lecture Description



The Personal Essay
Instructor: Ellen Sussman

In this afternoon workshop we’ll explore the art of the personal essay. How do you find the material from your life? How do you shape that into essay form? How do you best share the emotional impact with the reader? How do you make it dramatic and compelling?

We’ll discuss markets for selling personal essays and we’ll talk about how to protect yourself and your loved ones.

This class will be appropriate for writers at all levels of experience.
