Robert Stone

About:

In this intensive four-day workshop we will work on critiquing and revising your work to bring it to a more complete and polished form. We will read each other’s work in advance, and spend the mornings in critical discussions. It is not unusual for a work to be heavily revised as a result of workshop discussions. There are no limitations as to genre or subject matter.

Requirements:

A submission of no more than 10 pages. Note: if possible, this submission should be the same work in progress that you’d like to use during the workshop period. Please send the digital submission to: mail@KeyWestLiterarySeminar.org
