There’s still time to apply for Milo Todd’s writing workshop! Application deadline is March 28th After 2.5 years of planning, it’s finally arrived! The Novel Immersive for LGBTQ+ Writers is a virtual, all-queer workshop and craft lecture program. 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 remotely 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. LGBTQ+ writers will leave this immersive with a finished and/or more polished draft, a trajectory for getting published (including support for applying to higher-level GrubStreet programs, such as the Novel Incubator), and a supportive queer writing community that they can hold onto long after the program is over.Apply here!LUIZA GURLEY’S CHAPBOOK WORKSHOP!
