Art of the Personal Essay
2730 Historic Decatur Road, Barracks 16 #202, San Diego, 92106
Cost: $150 - $180
Learn to compose thought-provoking and publishable personal essays about topics that interest you from today’s news to your favorite places in nature, family memories, and more. The personal essay is not the five-paragraph essay you learned in school but a more reflective form that takes the writer and reader on an unhurried stroll from first sentence to last. Personal essays appear as newspaper op-eds, short magazine articles, online posts, memoir chapters, and in essay collections compiled by one author or another. Five sessions.
