Ready to start putting your work out into the world, but hoping to do so with the support of seasoned editors and fellow writers?
The call for applications to our Summer 2026 digital residency, The Workshop, is now open. This five-session, genre-agnostic program is a place for creatives to share their works-in-progress with a purposefully curated group of writers, artists, and activists. Over the course of five weeks, residents will give and receive feedback from their peers and their facilitator (both written and verbal), learn how to give critical feedback across genres, and grow their literary communities in an accessible, virtual space.
For our summer intake, there are four cohort options — Mondays at 5 p.m. PST, Wednesdays at 5 p.m. PST, and Saturdays at 8 a.m. PST — to accommodate for different schedules and time zones (please note: there will be two cohorts held during the Wednesday evening time slot). One new addition this year is a young writer-specific cohort, for writers age 18-25, which will take place on Wednesday evenings. Otherwise, there is no difference between these cohort tracks, and you’ll be able to select which ones work for you in the application process. The summer cohorts will run from mid-June (June 15, 17, or 20) through the end of July (July 13, 15, or 25; Saturday cohort will skip the July 4 weekend). Each session is two hours long.
There is no fee to apply, but the program itself does cost $450 in order to honor the time and labor of our facilitators. There is limited financial aid for this program, but payment plans are available for any participating resident, as we want to ensure that the program remains accessible to our community. You can learn more about The Workshop, including specific meeting dates, opportunities, and more, on our page for The Workshop here.
