The Masters Review Summer Workshop Is Open!

It is that time of year again, friends. Our remote summer workshop gives you the chance to receive edits from experts at Tin House, The Paris Review, and American Short Fiction—all from the comforts of home. Get those stories and essays ready for when lit mags open back up for submissions in the fall. This year, we are offering a workshop for short stories and essays and a special workshop dedicated solely to flash fiction. Our standard workshop is already half full and our flash workshop has a smaller number of slots! So…reserve your spot today! Our workshops always fill up fast.

COST: $299

Participants Receive:

  • an editorial letter from your instructor with specific suggestions and developmental edits that will help elevate your story to the next level
  • PDF of materials including craft essays from The Masters Review, editorial notes on what we see from the slush pile, information on submission strategies, and additional advice on submitting
  • automatic inclusion in a forthcoming Masters Review contest
  • suggestions on literary magazines and contests that would be a good fit for your work, along with reading recommendations from your instructor
  • an archived copy of The Masters Review anthology
  • Writers will receive feedback no later than September 30. Early submissions may yield earlier feedback
