The Intensive Genre Writers Weekend<\/a>, under the direction of Michael Knost and SG Redling, will debut September 20-22, 2019 in Huntington, West Virginia. The workshop will include Milford-style<\/a> roundtable critiques from peers and professionals. We will accept only 30 students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cost for the weekend will be $300, which includes dinner on Friday, lunch and dinner on Saturday, and brunch on Sunday. (Does not include hotel, breakfast, or alcohol.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will have live Skype Q&A sessions with a few well-known writers (TBA). (Students will have the opportunity to personally direct a question to each writer during these sessions.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructors include SG Redling<\/a>, Michael Knost<\/a>, Kenya Wright<\/a>, and me (Lucy A. Snyder).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will have an exclusive pitch session with a publisher (TBA), panel discussions, Q&As with the writing professionals, and lots of fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will be a safe environment for everyone. We will have strict policies for conduct, harassment, etc. We will also enforce proper etiquette for critiquing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will be workshopping\/critiquing short stories (around 5,000 words in length) or portions of novels (around 5,000 words) in this session. Our goal is to dramatically improve your writing during this weekend event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You must submit a piece of writing (up to 5,000 words of a short story or novel) to be accepted into the program. We will make sure everyone is writing at a competent level; we will be focusing on next-level critiques and the workshop is not for those who do not understand the basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Submit your piece to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> the piece you submit for acceptance doesn\u2019t have to be the same story you turn in for actual critique during the weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
