Fiction Workshop for Immigrant Writers: Immigrant Writers' Fiction Workshop

Immigrant Writers’ Fiction Workshop is a free, juried workshop led by Zell Postgraduate Fellows in Creative Writing.

We’ll leverage our collective experience of workshopping at University of Michigan MFA program and our experience teaching creative writing to undergraduates to create an inclusive environment where you’ll feel supported to develop your writing skills. We’ll provide guidance on workshop and writing feedback letters, create opportunities for you to build community, and answer any of your questions.

The idea to do this conference was just that — only an idea, until a friend and a colleague got excited to do it with me. Writing is solitary work, but we need our writing friends to keep us going. Join us, and make your writing friends here too.
