While there are no concrete solutions—the essay spills out, it resists simple reductions, and this is why we practice it—in this workshop, students will study some tried and tested approaches to shaping an essay collection. Bring along your unfinished manuscripts, essays you think might be the beginning of a collection, or even your rough notes on what your future essay collection might be, and we will work these into a plan for you to develop and finish your essay collection.
Bring along your essay collections-in-progress, notes for further development, or essays you think might mark the beginning of a collection.
Students will be provided with relevant reading materials in class.
You will learn:
