In small-group workshops led by BLR editors, you will engage in guided exercises and generative prompts that encourage you to experiment with form and language. Workshop facilitators will lead discussions on craft and style, as well as on the practicalities of publication, with ample time for Q&A. You will have opportunities to share your work in a warm and encouraging atmosphere, and meet others who share your passion.
