What better time to advance on your manuscript than the dead of winter? This MFA-style workshop is ideal for writers who wish to make progress on their writing projects in a high-level and supportive environment. We will meet once a week and will workshop each other’s new material, with attention to story, character, structure, form, and style. Feedback will be constructive, intended to give the writer a sense of what’s working, what’s not, and how to make it better.

This workshop is designed for writers who are ready to share their writing with others, and who are looking for a structured environment to motivate them to move forward. We will also discuss all that intersects with writing, like reading, publishing, art, and discipline. Each Participant will have the opportunity to share two submissions of up to 20 pages. Participants are also expected to read 20-60 pages of peer submissions each week. Participants from all levels and all fiction genres are welcome.

Workshop Highlights:

  • Read and give comments with the eye of a writer

  • Get detailed feedback on your writing

  • Meet like-minded writers with whom you could continue workshopping after the semester is over

One full scholarship available. To apply, please fill out this form by Thursday, February 30.
