ASYNCHRONOUS

In this workshop, we will work together on turning your unfinished essay, your idea for an essay, or your good but not good enough essay into a kick-ass essay. A kick-ass essay takes your personal story and makes it universal. It makes the reader laugh or cry or both. And it sticks with the reader long after they’ve finished it. Together we will read examples of such essays by Jonathan Lethem, Jo-Ann Beard and others and discuss what makes them so powerful. And we will work on your essay with the goal of making it sing.
