Hi!

I’m so excited to offer this one-hour Zoom class on April 29 at 7 p.m. Central (that’s 8 p.m. Eastern, 5 p.m. Pacific, the middle of the night in Europe, etc).

The Art of the Personal Essay is perfect for anyone who wants to learn (or learn more) about how to write a compelling personal essay.

For over two decades, I have been working as both a professional writer and a teacher of creative writing on the college, graduate, and adult-education levels. In other words, I’m well acquainted with not just the craft, but the concerns of writers, including writer’s block and fear of exposure. I want to help you tune out the noise and write something you love.

In this class, you will feel zero pressure, have fun, meet a few people, and leave class excited to write. This is for all writers, whether your ideas are only in your head or you’ve been cranking out essays for years.
