Last Call for "Writing the Zeitgeist: Weaving Pop Culture and Politics Into Timely Essays"

Want to write compelling essays that tap into the cultural moment and get published in major outlets? Join our brand new class this Wednesday.

Some of the most powerful essays published today use a seemingly small cultural moment — a television show, a celebrity, a trend, a viral news story — to illuminate something much larger about the world we live in. But how do you write these pieces in a way that feels insightful rather than reactive? How do you connect the personal, political, and cultural in ways that resonate with readers?

In this brand new workshop with cultural critic Alizah Salario, you’ll learn how to identify compelling cultural entry points, develop your own perspective, and craft essays that engage with the conversations happening around us right now. If you’ve ever read an essay about a current cultural trend or moment and thought, I wish I’d written that, this class may be for you. Class takes places tomorrow, Wednesday, July 15 at 1pm ET and we have just a few seats left, so if you’d like to join, sign up now!
