BookEnds Manuscript Mentorship Program Application 2019-2020
BookEnds is a year-long program that accepts a small cohort of talented fiction writers with promising novel drafts. BookEnds requires the ability to receive and process critique, to generate constructive criticism for and with a small group of peers, and a sustained commitment to a manuscript in progress. The program is designed to be manageable for working people, and can largely be completed online and over Skype, alongside three mandatory in-person meetings, two in Southampton, NY during the Southampton Writers Conference and one in Manhattan in late January.
