The workshop season at the Djerassi Resident Artists Program will be launching in 2015—with workshop-retreats not just with me but with other Djerassi alums!—and there are some beautiful full-color ads coming out in writing magazines. I wanted to share…
My YA Novel Writing Workshops & Retreats at the Djerassi Resident Artists Program in February and June 2014 were such a resounding success—and such a joy to lead!—that I am doing another week-long YA novel workshop in June 2015! And exciting news: Applications are now open.
I’ll be teaching a new YA novel writing workshop in New York City this fall, with Ideasmyth at the Writers Room in Manhattan.
