Structure from Chaos: Join Lauren Markham’s October Class

In this class, which will meet twice, we’ll be looking at various strategies and methods to help us develop a structure for our long form prose projects (be they books, long essays, novels, or something else). How do we order and organize our ideas? How do we figure out how various elements contained in the text–research, reporting, memoir and personal narrative, expository writing–  fit together? How do we balance story and idea, and create a structure that moves the reader forward? How do we figure out a project’s shape?

The two 2+ hour sessions will include a combination of lectures, in-class writing and mapping activities, small group conversations and Q&A, with some optional exercises to undertake in the week between.”
