Yearlong Writers Workshop

Fishtrap’s Yearlong Workshop is a 13-month intensive writing program modeled after low-residency MFA programs, with short, intense group sessions framing a year of long-distance instruction – offered at about half the cost of most low-residency MFA programs. If you don’t need a degree, but just want high-quality, sustained support and instruction for your writing, this program could be the perfect fit for you.  The Yearlong program begins and ends with attendance at Summer Fishtrap where students and faculty meet together as a group for a week of workshops, events, and readings at Wallowa Lake. During the year, participants work closely with their instructor, exchanging monthly packets of writing. With each packet the writer moves toward the development of a full-length manuscript with a goal of completing a draft by the end of the year.
