When & where will the program be held?

The Publishing Program is held virtually. Please check the website to check when the next cycle will be open.

Who should apply to the program?

The Publishing Program is open to any writer interested in engaging in sustained work, in a supported environment by fellow writers, faculty and staff.

What’s the application period?

Applications are now open. The priority deadline is June 30th. Please check the program’s website for more up to date information on the application period.

Is the program open only for writers of color?

No, the Publishing Program is open to writers of any background.

Do you need to have a manuscript to qualify for the program?

Not at all. The objective of the program is to help writers who are interested in charting their path to publication, by providing them with the learning environment, support through our community and our network of writers and experts in the publishing industry. You don’t need to have a manuscript in progress to qualify; but it does help if you’re working with a specific project in mind.

Can I attend partially?

Unfortunately, that is not possible. Because of the rigorousness of the program, it is best to commit to it fully. The programming has been interspersed throughout the year, to allow ample time for writers to engage with their work, including generating new work, undertaking developmental edits, and polishing their projects as needed. This kind of work can be continuous, which is why the full program is ideal to sustain it.

Which genre should I apply to?

We currently support creative non-fiction, fiction, and poetry. Participants pursuing works of hybrid nature will have the chance to pursue their projects as well. Although all talks and classes are conducted with multi-genre elements of craft in mind, participants will be working primarily in one genre or one project. In order to complete your work on time, we recommend that you focus on one project at a time.

I applied to program in one genre, but I changed my mind. Can I still pursue a different genre?

Admission to the program depends on your project/genre and availability of our faculty mentors. If you need to change your genre or project, please contact the program staff.

Do you offer fellowships?

Every year, we offer several partial fellowships. The number of fellowships varies based on available funds; applications must be submitted by the priority deadline to be eligible for fellowships.

What are the fees to attend the program?

The program costs $6,800 and it includes classes and craft talks, generative sessions, accountability groups, exchanges with dedicated faculty mentors, and access to supplemental support from programs staff. For more details, please refer to the program’s page.

Can international participants apply?

Yes, applications are open to all, regardless of location and status; international writers are eligible to apply for fellowships as well.

I still have questions. Who do I contact?
