Grub Street: Personal Essay Workshop

Personal essays straddle the space between opinion and memoir. However, within that space are a multitude of ways to make the personal, universal. This includes humor, research, data, structure, and other aspects of craft for storytelling on the page. This session is open to both new and experienced writers. Our time will be spent writing, as well as critically reading personal essays from Deesha Philyaw, Desiree Cooper, Dinty Moore and others to discover how to make your personal essay reflect the world.

Please Note: Registration is not required but strongly preferred!

Who Should Register?

Grub @ The BPL has a special focus on making the creative writing workshop more accessible to those who face challenges due to cost, language skills, lack of access to transportation, and other barriers. We believe that all voices must be spotlighted with the range and fullness they deserve.

These programs are offered tuition-free thanks to the support of generous donors who are committed to our mission of ensuring all voices are heard.
