Seven Monday Sessions

10 – 12:30 PM EST

Dates: 4/7 – 6/2 (Off 4/14 & 5/29)

ONLINE

In this manuscript focused class, each writer will submit 1200 words each week in advance of class. The group will come to class having read everyone’s work. Feedback will be shared, contextualized by the writer’s specific goals, challenges and intentions. Then the writers will turn back to their writing, working in class to find “the next right thing for the work,” be that directly incorporating the class’s feedback, moving forward with a new scene, developing an old one, adding a new layer or story-line, etc. Finally, we will share what changes we added to the manuscript, and, time permitting, have a second round of feedback. A writing sample of 1,500-2,000 words maximum is required for entrance to this workshop. Please click this form.   In this workshop, writers can expect:

• Strong editorial focus. 
• Feedback that speaks to the project as a whole. 
• Work shared in advance of class.
• Focus on creating continuity between submissions. 
• Problem solving mindset. 
• Supportive community of experienced writers. 

Manuscript Course: In addition to bringing in 1200 words per week to read aloud to the class for discussion, each student will have one opportunity to submit up to fifteen double-spaced pages to the instructor and class members. The group will read the work at home, write constructive comments on the pages, and provide feedback to the manuscript in class.  

WHERE: Online via ZOOM (link will be sent the week of the first class)
