This new workshop series explores the basics of how to conceive and write a personal essay.

Created by longtime MAD Magazine Editor-in-Chief (BIG DEAL!) and essayist John Ficarra, workshop participants receive constructive feedback and have the opportunity to share their work with others.  

“Some people have a story they want to share with the world, while others are inspired to write for the pure pleasure and challenge of it,” says John. “All are welcome in this workshop.”
