In this ninety-minute seminar, we’ll look at the way essayists establish the When and Where (time and place) of their essay and their persona (narrator, the “I”)., as well as how to anticipate a reader’s questions by including context and other engaging details. We’ll look at the openings of essays to understand how writers ground the reader, and we’ll look at excerpts of essays to see how writers include necessary and clarfying context. I’ll also explain the occasions when certain details, namely time and place, may be omitted. You’ll have a chance to experiment with revising your existing essay openings and/or paragraphs. The Zoom link will be emailed to you a few days before the seminar.
