Free introductory class!
Charles Salzberg has written for Esquire, New York, GQ and The New York Times Book Review, and is the author of over 20 books. In this class, this highly experienced writer and editor will help us hone our ability to pen effective and compelling personal essays. He will show us how to use something seemingly insignificant or ordinary and transform it into something with universal resonance that illuminates and transcends the subject so that readers discover something important about themselves. In our time together we will read and critique examples of a wide range of essays and Op Ed page pieces on subjects weighty and light in an attempt to learn what makes an essay succeed as well as share and offer feedback on each other's work. Come begin to master a genre that, at its best, combines the intimacy of a letter and the power of a well-structured short story.
