ONLINE: A braided essay weaves two or more distinct “threads” into one single essay. These threads — drawn from memory, imagination, research or observation — appear in alternating sections, creating layered meaning. You might start with a specific theme, such as fishing, and then incorporate both personal stories and researched history about fishing into your essay. Topics can range from science to art, travel to daily life — whatever sparks your interest. Each week, you’ll receive craft pages with short essay examples and techniques for structuring and refining your work. Writers submit their essay a day and a half before class; the instructor will then compile and share the work for group reading. In class, we’ll focus on both substance and craft, offering constructive feedback. A short letter from the instructor will be sent after each class. Prior prose writing experience is strongly recommended. | Facilitated discussion.
