The  UnMentionabLes  Essay  Intensive

September feels like “a bouquet of sharpened pencils” so if you're a fellow recovering A+ gold star student who's kind of sad you don't get to buy new school supplies, it's the perfect time to join the first EVAH Unmentionables Essay Intensive. Four weeks, four workshops, and ALL the homework, to write one unputdownable essay!

Early Sign-Up $250

 

When: Thursdays in September, 9/5, 9/12, 9/19, 9/26, from 11:30 am – 1 pm Mountain time.

This will be workshop style. You'll have to do shit during class and you get homework, too. If that doesn't sound like fun, and you can't commit to putting each week's teaching into practice, you can still come, but you won't have an essay at the end of the month. (And you won't be able to win the prizes!!)

Where: Live on Zoom (yes, you’ll get the recording if you miss it).

Cost: $250 early bird pricing (this is better than getting a worm!! Ew.) If you've taken a class from me you know I will pack as much value and resources into this as I can possibly fit. Once I've nailed down the curriculum over the next week I will set the regular price.

YES PLEASE!

HEY,
I’m Juliane 

with one n.

I ghostwrite books for Simon & Schuster, and Penguin Random House, work with Navy SEALs, Apple Executives, and Ironman athletes, and freelance for HuffPost, Wired, Insider, and The Rumpus.

What  Fun  Shit  will  we  Do  Together?

WEEK ONE - The Big Idea

What will you write about?

What's your topic, story, and specific angle?

How do you know if your idea is any good?

WEEK TWO - The Structure

Give your creativity a container. 

What structure will you pick?

Outlining, researching, getting quotes from experts.

WEEK THREE - The Draft

"The shitty first draft." Do you have to write “drunk?”

The magic of reading aloud. 

Memories vs. facts.

WEEK FOUR - The Edit

Cut the fluff. 

Killing or rescuing your darlings.

Make it fucking sparkle.

Prizes & PREZZIES

You will Not Be a Starving Artist

  • Everyone who completes an essay gets a mini gift in the mail (yes, a physical thing you can hold in your hand because I'm old school and I also like writing in cursive)
  • Everyone who completes an essay gets at least one suggestion from me on where to pitch it (if you want to get it published)
  • I will pick my three favorite essays from participants and feature them on my Substack
  • If you're one of the three essayists and you decide to start your own Substack, too, I'll be thrilled to sign up as your first paid subscriber. That's real cash money $$$ because you will NOT be a starving artist.

WhY Do I give You stuff for showing up?

Because presents are fun and I like adding sparkly delights whenever possible. When I act generously myself, it's like an asshole repeller. I'm creating a community of people who cheer each other on and are excited about beautiful writing. I have been extremely lucky to have incredible mentors and I want my gratitude to create ripples of kindness.
