Crafting and Publishing Personal Essays
Instructor: Corbin Lewars
Wednesday, April 06, 2011 - Wednesday, May 11, 2011. 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM
Richard Hugo House
Min: 5 Max: 15
The first half of this class will be devoted to crafting and strengthening students’ personal essays. Using other authors as examples, we will discuss the importance of a strong lead, pacing, voice and other characteristics to consider when writing essays. Time will be devoted to workshop participants’ essays in class. The latter half of class will be spent learning about and identifying suitable publications to submit to. Participants will learn how to position themselves effectively in a query letter and craft an effective pitch. Ideally, by the end of the session everyone will have submitted several queries and/or their complete essay to various publications.
