ANTHOLOGY PROJECT WORKSHOP (2 sessions)

WORKSHOP: THE ART OF PERSONAL ESSAY

Personal essay is one of the most interesting forms of writing. Some essays are short memoirs, siblings of short stories. Others are more discursive yet still vivid, offering viewpoints filtered through personal experiences and intimate voice; not lectures, but conversations. We’ll learn about different forms of personal essays, look at examples by known writers to learn about structure (particularly how to find the focus and how to create a fetching beginning) and, most importantly, practice finding and honing your essayist’s voice.

Date: Two sessions - Tuesday 20th & 27th August 2024

Time: 6pm-8pm

Location: TBA closer to day of event (Caulfield area)
