How to Write a Beautiful Publishable First Person Essay That Can Change Your Career and Life

ONDEMAND WEBINAR DESCRIPTION:

While Susan Shapiro promises her students that three pages can change their life, they often have no idea what topic to write a first-person essay about, what tone to use, or how to tell a true life story that happened to them in the past in a way that will engage editors and readers. In this exciting talk, she’ll offer the popular short nonfiction assignment she's given her classes over 25 years that has led to the most prestigious, successful publications--many that even led to books.
