In Personal Essay Platform Builder, writers work on building their author platforms by writing a publishable essay, building a subscriber list, and creating an online portfolio (without an author website) as they begin to share content that feels authentic and not cringy. Live classes start on Zoom July 10th. All classes are recorded and are available indefinitely.
Exclusive BONUS for July 2025 section: Access to self-paced course How to Write a Modern Love Essay and an instructor review of an essay up to 2000 words.
