Workshops Explained
Workshops Explained
Workshops are your chance to receive and give comments on works-in-progress. You'll begin by submitting 10-15 pages from a solid draft of non-published writing before Scriptoria begins. Then your facilitator and classmates give you feedback on the submission's strengths and growing edges.
How It Works
How It Works
Participants will be assigned to a workshop class based on their submission's genre: mid-grade/young adult fiction, adult fiction, poetry, or devotional/creative nonfiction. These workshops will run each morning for two hours.
Scriptoria faculty lead the groups and will contact assigned participants with how they’ll run their workshop.
Workshops are an excellent way to get helpful feedback on your writing. Your facilitator and classmates will talk about what works well and the growing edges. Each participant will have a turn.
(Note: Being nervous is human. You’ll be in good company.)
Preparing & Formatting Your Submission
Preparing & Formatting Your Submission
What genre are you writing within? Scriptoria offers these general genre categories: Fiction, Midgrade/Young Adult Fiction, Poetry, and Devotional/Creative Nonfiction. Determine what you're writing.
How many pages do you send in? Page-length depends on your genre:

How should you format your submission?
Compile your submission as one continuous Word document (PDFs don't work) with your name + genre + page numbers.
