Write a personal essay in 500/750 words. Deadline 7/15, 2023. CLOSED |
Do you like to write blogs as in Personal essays? Then this is the contest for you! "The hallmark of the personal essay is its intimacy. The writer seems to be speaking directly into your ear, confiding everything from gossip to wisdom. Through sharing thoughts, memories, desires, complaints, and whimsies, the personal essayist sets up a relationship with the reader, a dialogue - a friendship, if you will, based on identification, understanding, testiness, and companionship." Phillip Lopate in The Art of the Personal Essay.
