Looking to bring out your inner Taylor Swift or Carly Rae Jepsen? Some of our most powerful and consuming emotions revolve around “someone that you used to know” or can’t get out of your head. Romantic and platonic love affairs create formative experiences, but writers often feel like they need to hold back when talking about them.

This three-week course teaches writers to break through their fear and take charge of their past experiences. Be it the terror of heartbreak or the horror of having to leave someone at the altar, this class will help you take your inner crazy ex out of the box and your writing from diary entry to a compelling piece of literature that will feel sweeter than revenge.

In this class, you will get:
  • Writing prompts that help you break through emotional or mental blocks.
  • A fun community of fellow heartbreakers.
  • In-class discussion about the best shape and angle for your story.
  • Two chances to have your work critiqued by the group and Elizabeth.
  • Ideas of where to pitch and submit your work.

Class meetings will be held over video chat, using Zoom accessed from our private class page.

COURSE TAKEAWAYS:

  • A generative list of story ideas and publications to submit to
  • A formula for crafting a great ex-focused pitch (personal essay, reported, or first-person reported)
  • An understanding of relationship writing ethics
  • The confidence to unapologetically write about your ex, in *your* own way

TESTIMONIALS:

"I took the writing about your ex workshop with Elizabeth and was blown away at what I was able to produce after just 3 weeks under her guidance. She immediately had us writing with incredible prompts and offered insightful feedback. From her workshop alone, I was able to produce 5 different pieces that I’ve now published on my Substack (one of them landing me a surge of paid subscribers!) Thank you Elizabeth - you’re the perfect teacher for this class - I’d definitely take it again!" -Chelsea R.

"Taking Elizabeth's class on obsessions and pop culture helped me expand my thinking and writing about the things I love. Elizabeth's thoughtful choices for our weekly reading served as springboards and models for my thinking and writing, and her prompts for in-class writing were generative and helpful. I was incredibly grateful for Elizabeth's line edits and willingness to push me to the next level in my work. I left the class with an essay I felt proud of and the seeds of many more. I highly recommend this class if you're interested in learning how to utilize your obsessions to fuel the writing of entertaining, thoughtful essays and learning more about how to place these essays." -Amy E.
