Class meets, Tuesdays, 6:30-8:30
September 12-Decemeber 5

As I mentioned a few months back, I have the honor of being the Jenny McKean Moore Writer in Residence at George Washington University. To apply, you need not have academic qualifications. Writers who are at the beginning or intermediate level will benefit most from this weekly workshop. The class will focus on reading short fiction by established writers as well as roundtable critique of work submitted by class memebers. There are no fees to attend the class, but you will be respinsible for making enough copies of your story for all ten participants. (Students at GW and consortium schools are not eligible to apply.)

To apply, please sent a letter of interest (by US mail), outlining your experience with creative writing and your motivations for taking the course. make sure you include you name, address, home and work telephone numbers. Enclose a 10-15 page sample of your work. If you wish to have your sample returned, please include a SASE. Applicants will be notified of acceptance by September 1.

Applications must be postmarked by August 25th, but the earlier you send, the better.

Comment #1, by JMB...DC...GWU [TypeKey Profile Page]

Tayari,
Your JMM GWU Fiction workshop was wonderful.
It was nice to hear the first person voice behind the words of wisdom and wit of your
compelling novels, Leaving Atlanta and The Untelling. Thank you for stirring up my creative juices and challenging this reminiscent narrator to think what if about the 80's.
