Personal Blog Writing

Class Description

This class is for folks who are ready to write their personal blog or newsletter. The series will lead participants through the steps that it takes to write clearly and authentically. From exploring the content to knowing your audience, the group will be honing in on writing skills as well as letting go of literary expectations that are not needed. By the end of the six weeks, blog posts will be written and put out into the world with confidence.

All virtual classes are recorded and made available to participants registered in the class. These recordings are password-protected and available for up to two weeks after the class ends.

Tiffany Wong (she/her) is a Chinese interdisciplinary artist currently exploring collective liberation through writing. She believes that art is a powerful medium for embodied connection with both the self and the collective. Over the past decade, she has been exploring her internal landscape and healing through painting, collage, and writing. Learn more about Tiffany’s work on her website.
