Summer Workshop Program 2023
The most helpful writing workshops are ones in which the group acts as a single organism, its sole purpose being to help the piece of work at hand become its best possible self. Memoir, fiction — it’s all storytelling. Whether you’re bringing in pages of a memoir-in-progress or a work of fiction, we will approach the page with an eye towards structure, character, voice, place, and detail. Find the tenacity and take-no-prisoners courage to do your finest work.
By July 30, please submit to ssiegel@fawc.org up to 12 pages (double-spaced, 12 point font) of a piece of fiction or memoir you wish to be workshopped.
