This opportunity is exclusively for writers who have already competed the 10-Week Personal Essay Incubator with Jesse Sposato. It’s designed to help you stay on track with writing, editing and placing your personal essays in 2026.
All enrolled writers will take part in a monthly facilitated writing group meeting led by Jesse Sposato, held on the third Wednesday of each month from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. ET, starting on Wednesday, January 21, and ending on Wednesday, June 17, 2026.
Each writer will have three different chances during the six-month accelerator period to submit an essay (a new draft or a revised version of something you’ve already submitted), and receive oral feedback from the instructor and your peers. Monthly meetings will be dedicated to workshopping two to three of these pieces.
This is a low-frequency mentorship rather than a full class. All students will be asked to read their peers’ work (two to three drafts) before each monthly meeting and come prepared to discuss them. There will be a group message board for sharing articles, questions and relevant resources — and the instructor will be available to answer messages about pitching and writing — but there will not be any assigned readings or lessons.
All writers enrolled in this accelerator will receive 50% off Narratively Critiques, should you want to book a more in-depth written critique with Jesse during the course of the class.
By the end of this accelerator you’ll have…
2-3 essays ready to submit to publications.
All Narratively Academy classes are conducted online and accessible to students anywhere in the world.
