The Process

Participants will select one module/tutor from the list to work with during the course of the Studio. When applying you will indicate your top two choices; places will be allotted on a first come first served basis. If your choice of module is already full we will allot you to your second choice.

Applicants will be asked to write a note explaining their reasons for wanting to attend the Studio and their choice of tutor. If you are a published writer it would be useful to include samples or links to your work.
