Short Essays for the Internet

Whether expository or reported, internet publications seek clear, compelling short essays. In this workshop, we'll cover how to identify themes, and how to outline and write essays about single issues (750-1,000 words), including a call to action. We'll discuss different essay forms and when to choose each. We'll discuss finding publications to fit your interests (and how to tailor your writing to publications you admire). Students will practice pitches and leave with lots of homework because practice is key.
