The faculty have been announced for the Lambda Literary Foundation’s Emerging LGBT Voices Writing Retreat. And, hey, I’m one of them.
Emerging LGBT Voices is a week-long writers’ workshop in Los Angeles. Fellows will focus on fiction, non-fiction, or poetry.
I’ll be teaching fiction, Ellen Bass poetry, and Ellery Washington non-fiction. Start your engines: applications due by May 1st!
I'm spreading the word!
Excellent! I'm pretty sure there'll be scholarships–but don't quote me yet. I'll try to find out more later. For now, the important thing is to apply.
Is there a space for dramatists? Who's teaching playwriting?
Argh, I can't go this year. Any chance you'll do it again next year?
Anon@10:19, I'm guessing a play would fall under Fiction. (Just a guess.) I'm not a playwright, but I did work with a young playwright a year or so ago–and she ended up winning an English regional competition with the piece we worked on–so I think I was some help. I'd say, submit your work and see. But I'm not in charge of administering the retreat/workshop, so I'm not sure.
Elaine, I don't know. I don't have my plans yet set for next summer.
I'm working on my application right now. It would be awesome to meet you in person, and this sounds like exactly the workshop I could use right now. And yes they do have scholarships; I'm applying for one.
Back to polishing that excerpt . . .
Traci, good luck!
