Communities That Support Us: Fellowships, Workshops, and Residencies
Saturday, March 11, 2023
3:20 pm to 4:35 pm
Fellowships, workshops, and residencies can cultivate community, provide access to practical resources, and support writers in the development of their craft. But what differentiates them? Are they for emerging or established writers? How do you figure out which one is the right one for you? Four writing program directors and managers share the goals that drive their programs, their benefits and components, and how they seek to create meaningful experiences to propel literary careers.
