free, every week of the season

Essay workshops

A one-hour group session on one part of the essay: finding the thread, opening lines, structure, or cutting. No package required and no card asked for.

One hour, one part of the essay, and time at the end for your actual draft. Nobody will write a sentence for you here either.

Save a seat

We send the link the day before. No card, and no package required.

We use this for the workshop link and nothing else.

The four sessions

They run on a loop through application season, so joining late costs you nothing. Come to one or come to all four.

finding the thread01

An hour on the part everyone skips: what your life actually keeps returning to, and how to tell a thread from a coincidence.

opening lines02

Why most first sentences are throat clearing, and what a real one does in twelve words.

structure03

Where a 650 word essay is allowed to turn, and what has to be paid for before it can.

cutting04

Taking two hundred words out of a draft you like, without losing the thing that made you like it.
