About the event
Over the course of three weeks, we’ll workshop your essay for what it is, what’s working, and how it can grow. Each week carries a different focus and a different perspective to revise against. I'll guide us through prompts to discuss, play, poke, and rewrite.
Week One Focus: Workshopping Voice in an Essay
Week Two Focus: Workshopping Content in an Essay
Week Three Focus: Workshopping Theme in an Essay
In these three weeks, we’ll become a cohort. We will be each other’s beta readers, the writers who get it, and people who want to see you succeed. This will be an encouraging environment and we will talk in terms of what we “see happening” and what we “don’t see happening” or are "uncertain is happening" in each other's writing (vs like/don't like).
