Workshops

The foundation of The Writer’s Studio is your workshop, where you’ll meet biweekly with your mentor and other participants to give and receive feedback on works-in-progress. Participants’ workshop submissions will guide craft discussions, with mentors offering insights into areas of common concern. You’ll develop the ability to think critically about what’s working in a piece of writing, and what isn’t, along with the ability to articulate your thoughts in a supportive manner. These skills are essential to growing as a writer, revising your work, and being a part of the writing community.

By the end of the course, you will be able to do the following: 

• Critique the writing of your peers in constructive and mutually beneficial ways
• Apply the critique you receive to both revisions and new writing

• Participation in in-class discussions
• Giving feedback on others’ submissions
• Receiving feedback on your own submissions
• Three one-on-one meetings with your mentor over the course of the year

You will be evaluated on a Pass/Fail basis. 

No textbook is required. We will provide all course materials online.
