Advanced Poetry Workshop

(Online: Zoom) with Laniesha Brown (applications due March 13th)

Every month, we celebrate successes of all stripes! In February, Grubbies were published in literary journals across the country, won awards and prizes, published books, and so much more. Our community is closing February 2023 out with 37 publications, four book publications, three awards & prizes, and three book deals

The March 2023 edition of "Writing Life Essentials" is a monthly hand-curated list of contests, grants, scholarships, submission calls, and awards. We try to prioritize opportunities that are at least one of the following: local, free to apply, and/or committed to celebrating and supporting writers from historically marginalized communities. We do the research, so you have more time for what matters: the writing. Or, hiding under your covers until spring (with a book!). That’s important, too.

About the Memoir Incubator

A competitive and affordable MFA-level course, spanning 12 months, for ten memoir writers interested in drafting, developing or revising their memoir drafts, a comprehensive craft-based study of the memoir form, and, as appropriate, a thoughtful introduction to the memoir publishing market.
