Novel Immersive for LGBTQ+ Writers

For LGBTQ+ writers, a lack of queer-focused guidance, support, and community in writing workshops can stifle or even stall progress for novels. Taking place over nine months, the Novel Immersive for LGBTQ+ Writers is a program uniquely designed to fill this void and help queer writers complete or make significant progress towards completing a draft of their novel in a supportive community.

Thinking of applying? GrubStreet is offering an informal online Q&A with instructor Milo Todd on February 22nd, to answer any questions you have about the Novel Immersive for LGBTQ+ Writers, including the workload, the application process, what the program does and doesn’t entail, the schedule, the philosophy behind our approach, and anything else on your mind!
