2-Week Online Course Taught by Ariel Gore

Asychronous
The personal essay is one of the most enduring and adaptable literary forms, allowing for experimentation and a dissolution of the traditional boundaries between memoir and journalism. Over the 14-day intensive we’ll write every day, survey the form, complete five new essays, explore the market, and polish at least one personal essay for publication.
Workshop size is limited, so please sign up early.
Tuition for the Personal Essay Intensive is $275. Venmo @Ariel-Gore-1 with your email address. Or email arielfiona at gmail to find out about paying via Zelle or sending a check.
Tuitions are non-refundable but may be transferred to another class if you cancel by August 1.

Ariel Gore‘s essays have been widely anthologized and have appeared in The San Francisco Chronicle, Psychology Today, Salon, The Nerve, LitHub, The Rumpus, Electric Literature, The Santa Fe Reporter, The Sun, and elsewhere.
