Writing for Modern Love with Stewart Lewis

Registration is sold out

About This Class

The coveted New York Times column can be a career building platform for writers. Many have secured book deals based on being published in this forum. Do you have a non-fictional take on "modern love"? Did you know you can submit without an agent and they read and respond to every submission? In this class we will dissect different approaches that made the cut, in terms of voice, style, flow, content, and "hook". In addition to some in-class writing prompts, we will workshop each other's attempt, in hopes of every student developing a compelling essay to submit by the end of class.

  • In-Class Writing Lift: Medium
  • Homework: Required
  • Workshopping Drafts: Optional
