Classes & Workshops
Common Writing Mistakes and How to Spot Them February 23 from 10:00 - 1:00. You know the difference between they're, there, and their, but what about between allude, elude, and ilude? When should you use single quotation marks? Is it a "much needed" or a "much-needed" addition? Taught by a professional editor, this class will take you through the most common grammar, punctuation, and spelling mistakes writers make. REGISTER
Market News
Around the 15th of the month, we'll compile a comprehensive list (8-10 pages) of writing contests, calls for submissions, residencies/fellowships, and small presses that will be available as a $3 download. Let us do the exhaustive search for the right publication for that perfect essay, short story, or poem. We'll also make sure the listings are paying markets so you get paid for your work.
