Writing about myself is like treasure hunting – there’s always a chance to stumble upon some something unexpectedly valuable.

🦋 Please welcome our next Writing Incubator workshop:

🦋 "Self-presentation in writing: How to write about yourself even if you hate it" by Maria Botina

Writing about yourself oftentimes feels just as cringy as the interview question “Where do you see yourself in 5 years?” Ideas are aplenty, yet doubts also abound. What should I write? I have nothing special to say…

It’s time to leave the doubts in the rear view mirror and calmly work out the strategies to approach each piece of writing with specific goals and examples in mind. This is what we’ll do in our next Writing Incubator workshop.

More specifically:

- We will learn about the types of writing where self-presentation is required: motivation letter, statement of purpose, objective statement, personal statement, covering letter.
- Brainstorm ideas and examples of what makes you special and interesting for the reviewers.
- Learn to identify which of them will work best in what type of writing.
- And, of course, practice!

📅 9 June, Sunday, 11:00 am Moscow time, Zoom

🦋 The workshop is free. To join, write a comment on this post with a creative ending to “Writing about myself is like … .”
