2023 Summer Workshops

Revision is the greatest opportunity a fiction writer can have. Learn to be your own editor, and your most astute and discriminating reader. Bring it in and make it better. Please bring 11 copies of up to 10 pages of fiction (double-spaced, 12pt font) to the Sunday evening orientation session.
