Whether you have a lot more time on your hands, or suddenly have almost no time at all, chances are you have a lot of feelings about your situation, some strong opinions, and an intense desire to translate what's going on in your heart and brain to the written page. In this five-week workshop, we'll work on crafting personal essays and op-eds, from first sentences to shaping narratives; crafting pitches; finding outlets; and dealing with your feelings if you slather your secrets all over the internet. You may come with an already drafted essay, but we'll also work on generating ideas. Come prepared to share and give feedback on other writers' work. (8 students max)

Instructor: Lisa Selin Davis has published essays, op-eds and articles for The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Time and many other publications. Her non-fiction book, TOMBOY: The Surprising History and Future of Girls Who Dare to Be Different, will be published in August.
