Do personal essays and memoirs matter during “dark, disturbing and dangerous times” (as Springsteen says)? The short answer: YES. The slightly longer answer: YES, MORE THAN EVER. The even longer answer can be found in today’s edition of Page Fright. And, if you’re interested in my fast-approaching Zoom writing workshop on personal essays/opinion pieces, message me asap because registration ends this Sunday and workshop starts Tuesday!

Do Personal Essays and Memoirs Matter? When, as Springsteen says, "we are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times"

I'm obsessed--as a teacher, consultant, and the writer of Page Fright--with freeing writers, one fear at a time! And what’s more fear-inducing than exploring a painful subject for the first time, or boldly experimenting with style or form, or having such powerful opinions that you can barely contain your rage on the page? Free yourself from fear and perfectionism by taking my Sh*tty First Drafts workshop for essay/opinion writing. $295 for 8 weeks on Zoom, starting March 3!

What Is a "Sh*tty First Draft"? And Why You Should Write One

As you can clearly see, Erin Kane of The Arc Storytellers and I are hard at work, planning our FREE “Writing to Make a Difference” workshop. 🙂

But, seriously, we’re giving it our all.

If you’re concerned about the world and want to make yourself heard through opinion pieces, newsletters, calls to representatives, and more, this is for YOU.

The workshop will be held on Saturday, May 10, from noon - 2 p.m ET.

Please register today through the link below:

We hope to see you there!

You can fight me on this, but I’ll win: my writing students and clients are simply the BEST.

If you need help finishing your creative non-fiction works, seeking a literary agent, or getting your butt placed firmly in the chair so you actually write, DM me so we can set up a free Zoom consultation.

And if you sign up for the consultation by May 1 (that’s this Thursday) and decide to work with me, you’ll get 20% off my hourly fee…forever!
