Welcome to Essay 30!

Here’s what to do:

Step One

Please bookmark our program page, “essay 30 fall 2026” (see the menu above).

Password: November6

Right now, you’ll find snapshots of the schedule, and a writing prompt spinner with 30 half-hour freewriting and notemaking prompts for September. Much more will appear as we go along.

Step Two

If you’re planning to attend Monday night generative workshops (6:30-8:00 ET, 30 minute craft conversation, 45 minutes of writing time, 15 min reflection/conversation), you can add to your calendar by clicking here:

Add Essay 30 Mondays to Google Calendar

Add to Apple Calendar/Outlook/iCal

Step Three

Please schedule a quick conversation on October 1 or 2 to design your month (and shoot me an email if those days/times don’t work for you—kldombek@gmail.com). In addition to listening to your goals, I’ll be learning how to motivate you and making first agreements about structure: will you work asynchronously, or come to meetings? Will you write in a shared google doc, so you know I’m occasionally reading and commenting, or share writing on Sundays? Will you want to check boxes in an hourly tracker that gives you a tiny dopamine hit every time you write? Things like that.

Advice:

Keep your Acuity receipt email. When you want to schedule an included session or workshop, click ‘Schedule’ in that email; your Essay 30 package code will already be applied.
