Writefest Friday Workshop Memoir and Personal Essay with Anjali Enjeti

Please note: RSVPing on Meetup does not register you for this event. You must register here.

The personal essay has evolved substantially over the years into myriad forms. It can include everything from prose poems to braided essays to reported essays to flash essays to memoir. In this class, we'll explore various kinds of personal essays, figure out how to determine the essay's lesson or message, and learn how to pitch essays successfully to publications. Attendees can bring either a page of an essay to workshop or a pitch for an essay. I'll also make suggestions about specific publications particularly interested in receiving essays from newer writers.

Registration includes Keynote with Mahogany L. Browne and weekend panels and readings.

There will be one scholarship available for each workshop so register early.
