What's Love Got to Do With It?
Adult Multi-Week | Available
This six-week personal essay
class will walk you through the process of writing, revising, and submitting an essay to the New York Times' Modern Love essay column. Discussions of published essays from the column and writing advice from the editor Daniel Jones will create a foundation for writing your own Modern Love style essays. Prompts on topic selection, essay structure, style, tone, beginnings, endings, and scene will help you generate material. The final classes will be workshops designed to prepare you to revise and submit your completed essay for publication.
- Students should be prepared to read and write outside of class. Please come to class with a copy of the reading and either a journal or a computer for in class writing.
