About This Class

Ever had a story you couldn't wait to share? Join author Emily Gould to learn how to write a personal essay that gets read. This 45-minute class shares Emily's favorite writing prompt, explores 3 favorite essays for strategies you can (safely) steal, and offers quick-and-dirty editing tips for improving your writing at every stage.

Plus, the project gallery offers you the opportunity to post your own essay, exchange feedback, and get a piece ready for publication. This class is perfect for writers who are newer to the personal essay, experienced writers who want to try new approaches and reach more readers, and everyone who wants to refine their personal written voice.
