Have you dreamed of seeing one of your essays published in the New York Times or Cosmo? Successful journalist Anna David has done both and she will show you how. Anna will help make your essay relatable, targeted for the right publication, and tantalizing to readers.

Anna will share her secret for finding what newspapers, magazines and websites are looking for; what strikes them as cliché, and what they find different and interesting. We'll workshop one of your essays until it's perfect. By the end of class, you'll have a kick-ass essay that is ready to be submitted for publication and a plan of where to submit it. Your goal will be to sell your essay within a couple of weeks after the class ends! You'll be well on your way to joining the ranks of the 53 Writing Pad Alums who have been published and have gotten paid for their work in publications such as Self, Marie Claire, LA Times, Salon, Spirit Magazine, and New York Magazine!
