Summer 2026 Writing WorkshoPS

Writing is hard, and it is even harder when you are asked to write about your writing. But it does not need to be lonely! Some of us have more support than others, but we can all be of support to one another. We hope these workshop swill serve as a way to demystify the job materials and the book proposal stage, share examples, hear from editors, and discuss tips for best practices, but most importantly we hope this to be to be a space where you can get started. More details coming soon.
