Read at least three pieces at Brevity Magazine (http://brevitymag.com/).Then, write a 750-word, nonfiction essay for the magazine that fitswith its style and audience. Try to focus on one incident, or character.The subject can be about anything but yourself. Most likely, it willrequire a bit of research.

Brevity looks for “clear, concise, vivid prose,” that oftenutilizes condensed and connotative language to enrich the depth of thepiece in a short amount of time. In this way, it can incorporate ratherpoetic conventions at times. Put a lot of work into significant detailsand consider where the essay will take the reader. Make sure the essaycontains a purpose, a point, and/or an agenda. In addition, look at howpublished writers in Brevity end their essays.

This essay can be written in first-person, but again, should not beabout you. Think of it as literary journalism—a sort of journalism andexploratory essay hybrid. The essay should speak on a specific person orincident, but point toward a larger social/cultural/universalcommentary in the subtext.
