Building an Essay Collection

Join Eda Gunaydin for this full day course about building an essay collection.

Essay collections are constructed from individual essays, but it’s necessary to consider the ways in which separate pieces speak to one another. This workshop will explore different aspects of shaping essay collections, considering ways in which to build coherence through theme and voice, posing central inquiries or working throughlines into the manuscript and deciding the structure and order of pieces. The workshop will also dip into aspects of crafting individual essays using hybrid forms.
