participate in the class, but you will be responsible for making enough copies
of your stories for all fifteen participants.
Students at Consortium schools (including GWU) are not eligible.
To apply, please submit a brief letter of interest and a
sample of your writing, 12 pt type, double spaced, and no more than 7 pages in
length. Make sure you include your name,
address, home and work telephone numbers, and email address for
notification. Application materials will
not be returned, but will be recycled once the selection process is
completed. Applications must be received
at the following address by close of business on Tuesday, 7 January 2014.
