Welcome to the club. Many students join Write of Passage confused about what they want to write about, even convinced they have “nothing to write about at all.”
But this isn’t true. As you’ll learn in Write of Passage, writing is social. Your best ideas will emerge through conversation and feedback — two pillars that the course is founded upon.
Alongside conversation and feedback, we help you build systems that promote new ideas and uncover your interests. You will have weekly writing prompts and regular conversations with Mentors, Editors, and fellow students geared toward helping you generate ideas.
A favorite among students is the Idea Gym: a live call with your peers where you pitch half-baked article ideas and receive one-on-one feedback. You’ll leave Idea Gyms with an action plan for their next article — the power of social writing.
Most importantly, these systems will help you write about the things you already know well — those ideas that are obvious to you, but amazing to others. You’ve already done so much of the work. You’ve accumulated lessons, knowledge and experience both professionally and personally. At Write of Passage, you’ll get those ideas out of your head and into the world.
