New Class for Yale Writers' Workshop 2019


A new class I'm teaching in June! Excited about this new format, which will allow us to dig deep, really get to know everyone's project, and generate new material too. Announcement from Jotham Burrello/Yale Writers' Workshop:

YWW News Flash: I’m pleased to announce a New Intensive Workshop for 2019!

Work In Progress Intensive. This unique ten-day workshop is designed for writers working on book-length material: fiction or nonfiction, taught by YWW faculty member Kirsten Bakis. This cohort of just eight writers will meet and write for ten days next June. (Read: you’re in New Haven for both sessions.) This program is open to YWW alumni.


In Session I writers will critique 7000 words from their fellow writers’ manuscripts. Exercises and readings will be assigned prior to arrival.

Session II will be generative, a mini-retreat if you will, with writers developing new material. The cohort will meet to discuss progress, and strategies to completing confident first drafts.

More information in December newsletter. Applications open January 2019.
