This four-week workshop series will explore the basics of how to conceive and write (and maybe even publish!) a personal essay. Whether you have a story you want to share with the world or are just interested in the writing process, you are welcome to join. Led by long time MAD Editor John Ficarra, whose personal essays have appeared in the Washington Post, Daily News and other publications. In this series, each session builds upon the previous class; therefore, it is important that members are able to commit to all 4 sessions.
