Apply - FINE ARTS WORK CENTER in Provincetown Very good for writers and highly selective, totally paid for plus stipend. Only catch is it's 7 months and I can't be away that long, but in a few years when kids are older I'll totally apply.

Thank you for posting this, Claire. My genre (sci-fi) is not represented. Yet I don't yet have a full manuscript for them to consider, so I can't complain too much. It's good that a traditional publisher is at least trying to woo unrepresented...

I’m currently writing a page for the Author Platform (it’s still in beta, folks) about the growth of Litopia and where we stand when compared to other websites that give you the hard-sell for expensive writing courses. Researching our evolution...
