Ready to take your short stories to the next level? If so, apply today for the Short Story Incubator with instructor Ron MacLean. 

A competitive, accessible – and repeatable – MFA-level course, spanning 8 months, the Short Story Incubator Program is for ten short story writers from all backgrounds who want to move their stories from “workshop good” to publishable quality.

We are now accepting applications for the next phase of the Short Story Incubator, September 2020 - April 2021. The submission deadline has been extended to Monday, August 10th, at 11:59PM EST. Click here to apply.

On Wednesday, August 19th, we will be hosting a Remote Open House to talk about upcoming Fall classes!
