Writer Positions

The Fictionista Workshop writer is an integral part of the workshop as a whole. Writers are the central part and the key to the success of the workshop process. Writers are asked to submit a portion of their manuscript for editing and then group critique each week for the twelve weeks of the workshop. This means that writers are constantly under a deadline for the twelve weeks as they continuously edit their work and participate in the active critique of their manuscript. A writer must maintain a positive attitude and be willing to accept criticism. Positive writer feedback and participation is critical for a successful Workshop.

In order to be considered for the Fictionista Workshop environment, all writers must submit both an application and a portion of their manuscript by the required date.

Manuscript Submission Guidelines

The current workshop is for completed works of original fiction.
In order to be considered for the workshop, all writers must guarantee no plagiarism in their work and provide history of any published work, if applicable.
The “manuscript” consists of a story outline and the first 5,000 to 7,000 words of the completed story. Submissions should be uploaded into the Writer application where indicated.
Submissions must be in the form of a Microsoft Word document.
