What’s the difference between the person writing and the persona created on the page? How might a photograph of us be different from the way we present ourselves in that moment? In this hour-long virtual seminar, we’ll do a few writing exercises, and we’ll look at how some writers have described their idea of persona (and their struggles in writing one!), and we’ll end with your creating various personae for potential essays you want to explore so that you will leave our session inspired to revise a current draft or begin a new essay draft with attention toward the persona the essay needs.
