The Flipped Workshop
with Martine Leavitt
Available spots
Service Description
Early Bird Cost: $605* After March 15th: $655 When I was a student being workshopped, I was expected to sit under the cone of silence. I wasn’t allowed to say a word, ask a question – only silence. I could have spared them 20 minutes of discussion if only I had been allowed to say, “Toby is not a person, he’s a dog.” The cone of silence was invented for good reason, but in this workshop we are going to ignore good reason. The Flipped Workshop not only takes you out from under the cone of silence, it places you at the center of your workshop experience. You will lead the discussion about your work, come prepared with your questions for the group, bounce ideas off participants, and have the opportunity to get everything you need to proceed with the work. Participants will submit the first 3,500 words of their manuscript, due by April 15, 2025. We will critique the manuscript you submit on that date. *JANUARY ONLY! If you sign up by January 31, you can take advantage of a 4-month payment plan. Subsequent payments will be made by February 15, March 15, and April 15 (final payment). Late payments may result in losing your spot in the class and a partial refund (see refund policy). Please only use this option if you're confident you are able to pay on time and in full by April 15, 2025.
