You wrote this great essay but aren't sure if it's done yet or where you should send it for publication. Good news: the personal essay doctor is in! Successful journalist Natasha Vargas-Cooper will help you push that essay to the finish line. In this intimate (eight student max) one-day intensive, we'll workshop the hell out of your essay, help you polish it up and get it ready to send out the next day! We'll even send you a checklist of criteria for your essay to be great prior to our workshop session. You'll be well on your way to joining the ranks of the 54 Writing Pad Alums who have sold essays and articles with Writing Pad's help!

Note: Class will be limited to eight students. Class is only open to people who have taken one of Writing Pad's previous personal essay classes or who have considerable essay-writing or journalism experience (write to marilyn@writingpad.com and ask).
