What you'll learn

The Caravan instructors - a different one each week - will walk you through the fundamentals of genre and form, jumpstart your work with generative prompts, offer tools and guidance as you develop the draft, and help you rework and revise, sending you on your way with a full-length piece.

Whether you're new to the form - poets who want to write essays, we're looking at you - or are looking for a way to reboot your writing practice and sharpen your skills, the structure, accountability, energy, and creative community you'll find in this series will benefit you.

Learn to create an essay in four weeks.

Sundays, 11 am – 1 pm PDT 8/3, 8/10, 8/17, 8/24 Enrollment: $300 if you register by June 1. $350 after that.
