This June, we are excited to announce that our Retreat is back! Our 17th annual Retreat will take place at Fordham University’s Rose Hill Campus. Fellows will take part in craft classes, mentorship sessions, and community-building. (This Retreat was postponed from June 2020, so we are not accepting any applications this year. Applications will open in December 2022 for the June 2023 Retreat.)

We have one new class for June: Join Mayukh Sen in a multi-genre craft class about food and memory!

You can browse our lineup of present and past classes here.

Food and Memory with Mayukh Sen

Craft Class:
Sunday, 1:00 PM–4:00 PM ET
June 5th, 2022

Open to all writers of color

Though an essential component of food writing involves describing, well, the food—its, taste, texture, and presentation—in this one-day workshop, we will learn how to go beyond engaging with food as an object, instead tying it to emotion. The most natural way to accomplish this, especially if you're totally new to food writing, is to excavate a food memory that lives inside you. Students will discuss and dissect exemplary food writing and then start to generate their own personal essays. Click here to register!

Mayukh Sen’s class will take place on Zoom and the class time is listed in Eastern Time. There are scholarships available for his class and the deadline is listed on the individual course page.
