Advanced Weeklong Fiction Workshop: Starting, or Starting Over with Rebecca Makkai

$1,350.00 Members
$1,520.00 Non-members

Meet Rebecca in a Q&A to learn more about her and her style.

In this generative workshop, we’ll either begin brand new pieces, or we’ll begin a brand new version of an old piece. In either case, we’ll use our clean slates to find startling originality, optimal angles of approach, and the energies that will carry a story or novel through to the end. We’ll write both in class and outside of class, and we’ll (voluntarily) share what we’ve written. In the last two days of class, we’ll squeeze in mini-workshops on everyone’s opening page. Accepted participants do not need to come in with an idea of what to write, although they may.

Accepted participants will have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with Rebecca during the week of class. 

Applications are due for the Advanced Workshops by March 9. Apply here!
