The Open Letter: A Quick Study of Craft, Humor, and Direct Address

All Levels | Dear Writers: Few literary structures are so simultaneously ancient and modern, so ripe for comedy or earnestness, as the open letter. In these two sessions, we’ll dive into humorous hate mail, love letters to strangers, McSweeney’s-style satire, and other missives. We’ll spend one session on readings and exercises, and another workshopping and discussing your own open letters, based on readings and prompts.
