Have you always wanted to call yourself a "real" writer? 

You've been writing for years.

But you hide your essays away in your Microsoft Word docs or a journal tucked away in your nightstand, because, you're not really a writer.

Okay, okay. So maybe you've dreamed of one day going to Barnes & Noble to purchase 10 copies of the magazine with your first published piece.

But who are you, right?  Who are you to submit your work to that mom magazine or that major newspaper or that writer's showcase? 

Our question: 

Who are you not to? 

Every person who has ever been published second-guessed themselves at one point in time.

Until they took the leap and put themselves out there. They wrote with intention of sharing their story. They wrote to stand out and speak to an audience.

The only thing you're missing is the experience in the field. So why not learn from the ones who are already doing it?

INTRODUCING...

The Emerging Writer's Essay  Workshop.

A self-paced virtual workshop that is the catalyst you need to get your writing out into the world.

Find Your Voice. Tell Your Story.

In this self-paced virtual workshop, we are going to walk you through the important elements of writing a personal essay that will stand out and speak to an audience.
We’ll cover: 
  • The differences between a well-crafted personal essay and an anecdote or blog post.
  • The necessary ingredients of a personal essay
  • Brainstorming topics and distilling ideas
  • How to make connections with your reader
  • The importance of creating scenes
  • What is your story really about?
  • How to make your writing stand out
     

STEP 1: LEARN HOW

We'll start with the basics. What is the structure of an essay? What do I write about? How long should it be? Free-writing, idea generation, and a hyper-focused environment— everything you need to get started.

STEP 2: WRITE IT!

You've got everything you need to write your first draft. Take your notes, light a fire, and get writing. 

STEP 3: WORKSHOP IT

You'll learn to revise, edit, share, and learn all the ways you can put your words out into the world. 

Who Is This Workshop For? 

  • The woman whose stories live only inside her head and private journals
  • The dabbler who's taken a few writing courses but feels intimidated by publication
  • The blogger who's not sure what next step to take
  • The published author who feels stuck and needs some inspiration and accountability
  • The writer who's always dreamed of telling her stories on stage
