I'm really enjoying my online poetry class with Gotham Writers' Workshop (and have signed up for another round this fall). If a Gotham class interests you, consider this "100 Word" contest, which awards a free 10-week writing workshop (plus publication in the Gotham Winter 2008 brochure and online at WritingClasses.com). There's no entry fee; only one submission per entrant. No simultaneous submissions. Deadline: September 22, 2007.
Sorry to have relatively few offerings today! But please do look forward to the next issue of our newsletter, which will be out to subscribers later this week, sometime before I leave for Labor Day Weekend on Saturday morning. As usual, it will be packed with opportunities for fictionists, poets, and creative nonfiction writers. And, as usual, it's free! If you're not yet a subscriber, it's never too late to join us.
