This summer, One Story will again be offering an intimate 6-day fiction workshop for writers. The week will include morning workshops, afternoon craft lectures, and evening panels with authors, agents, MFA faculty, and editors. The workshop will be held July 24 – 29, 2011, at the One Story office in The Old American Can Factory in Brooklyn, New York (232 3rd St. #E106, Brooklyn, NY 11215).

One Story is crafting a unique experience, both practical and creative, for writers looking to take the next step in their careers. One Story Associate Editor Marie-Helene Bertino will be returning as workshop leader. Editor-in-Chief Hannah Tinti, as well as other established writers chosen for their ability to teach the craft of writing in engaging ways, will teach afternoon craft classes. Every night, there will be a wine and cheese reception and panel discussion with industry professionals. Last year’s lecturers and panelists included Myla Goldberg, Terese Svoboda, Allison Amend, Ann Napolitano, Sam Lipsyte, editors from n+1, Electric Literature and Akashic Books, literary agents, and MFA directors from local area programs.

Please join One Story at the Old American Can Factory on Thursday, May 5th for a free craft lecture from Hannah Tinti on the art and skill of revision. The event will begin with a reception at 6:30 pm. This is a rare chance to sample a craft lecture like the ones offered during the workshop, and an opportunity to meet some of the faces behind One Story.

Applications for the One Story Workshop for Writers are being accepted now until May 31, 2011.
