Your work will be evaluated by the literary magazine editors you want to submit to, the authors you enjoy reading, and by workshop’s end you’ll have a piece of fiction or personal essay that is polished and submission ready.

Our official list of instructors is still forthcoming but we are pleased to announce Ashley Farmer, editors from theNewerYork, our editorial team, and special guest authors will all be reviewing manuscripts.
