Registration for all five advanced workshops is by permission only: students are chosen by instructors on the basis of manuscript submission. Because space is limited and admission is not guaranteed, you may apply for more than one workshop.
Manuscripts should consist of no more than 15 pages (double-spaced) of prose or six pages of poetry (as applicable) and a cover letter that includes your name, email, telephone numbers and the name(s) of the instructor(s) to whose course(s) you are applying.
