Participant Position - Applications Open to July 15th, 2010

Updated: April 3rd, 2010

Fictionista Workshop participants are readers, observers, and constructive critics, offering detailed feedback in formats appropriate for the workshop setting, as well as support and encouragement. They are a crucial, integrated part of the workshop and forum activity.

There are two types of participants, depending on whether a workshop forum is open or closed. Open forums have read-only access to open workshops registered users, while active users can read and post. Closed forums are comprised of only active users, who play a role in the creative process of the workshop. Participants must remain active in order to continue participating in the forum.

There are two categories of participants in each workshop:

• Writer Recommended
• Fictionista Workshop Participants

All positions, regardless of whether the participant is recommended by the writer for that writer’s specific workshop, or whether the participant was chosen directly by Fictionista Workshop moderators for that specific workshop, are subject to approval and required to complete the application below.
