Group Dynamics<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Two people will submit a story in preparation for each session. Other members will read the manuscript and prepare a 3-minute verbal critique. We’ll then discuss the author’s questions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

What?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Pieces to bring<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

You can bring a short story, or a part of a novel and a synopsis of the rest of the novel. Your submission can be up to 8,000 words and must contain fantasy, scifi, or speculative elements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Workshop Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You don’t need publishing history, or a fancy MFA degree, or any previous workshop experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We only really have three requirements:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
\n

01<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writing<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

A love of writing, reading, and talking about books; especially fantasy, scifi, and speculative fiction. We’ll be reading and talking about these a lot!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

02<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Critiquing<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

An open mind to receive constructive feedback, and a commitment to provide honest, yet kind, constructive feedback for others. This includes mutual respect for your fellow writers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

03<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commitment<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

A commitment to at least 6 months of workshop (a full cycle of critiques). A commitment to create a safe space: There will be zero tolerance for racism, homophobia, transphobia, and other forms of hate. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
What can this group help me with?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
What can it not?! Improve your writing, build a writing community, connect you with professional resources, rip the nerves band-aid of showing other people your work, collaborate on professional resources, work on your world-building, dialogue, characterization, and plotting techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
What is a peer-led workshop?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
It means there’s no official instructor, just a peer facilitator to coordinate logistics. We, including Santiago, are all peers in this hectic, scary publishing world, trying our best to navigate the confusing waters. Some of us might have publishing history, some of us won’t. But we all have one thing in common: we write because we need to. And we want a community to improve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
What can I submit for the application?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
Anything you like! As long as it has fantasy, sci-fi, or speculative fiction elements and is under 4,000 words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What can I bring to be workshoped?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Anything you like! As long as it has fantasy, sci-fi, or speculative fiction elements and is under 8,000 words. If it’s a novel intro, you\u2019ll include a thorough plot synopsis (this will be helpful to give you feedback on world-building and plot points).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why is there an application fee for a free workshop?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
This is exclusively for Lynn’s professional and objective help in reading applications. Everything else is free. This fee is waived for members of marginalized communities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
How do I critique other people\u2019s work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
By being honest yet kind, and wanting the writer to grow and improve. You\u2019ll prepare a 3-minute verbal critique, including what worked for you and didn\u2019t work for you, and send the writer any notes or line edits you make. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
Why is the application so intense if it’s free?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
We want to find writers that are committed and want to be part of a community. Reading and providing feedback on another writer\u2019s work is time-consuming work. Out of respect to your other workshop members, if you are being workshopped next, you must submit your manuscript to the group by the deadline, so that everyone is able to read and critique it before the workshop date.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
Are you nervous? I’m nervous.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
Absolutely. You are submitting your baby, of brain and heart, to be read and critiqued. It’s okay to be nervous! But trust your writing and yourself, and remember: what you submit is only a small instance, a sliver, of everything you’ll ever write. It’s okay if it’s not perfect, and it’s okay<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can I call myself an author at this point?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Abso-fucking-lutely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
