Underground Workshop

“There are photographs one takes, of oneself and of other people and it is in these there is the production of not writing.” — Anne Boyer Scenes from our improv and “team-building” sessions.

We’re here and we’re ready for doughnuts.

The table is set for our welcome dinner!

Our 2019 workshop roster is complete! Thanks to all who applied. We'll have 13 attendees at this year's workshop. June 8 can't come soon enough.

LAST DAY TO APPLY to our weeklong fiction workshop in Portland. Study with Charles D’Ambrosio, scholarships available. Feed us those apps: undergroundworkshop.org/apply

Congrats to Andrew Steiner for placing a story in the latest issue of Epoch. Andrew will be attending this year's workshop.

Coming off that #AWP19 high? Spend seven days studying fiction with Charles D'Ambrosio. His accomplishments are too long to list here, so read about him on our site. Scholarships available! undergroundworkshop.org/about

Very important reminder: We have scholarships to give away! Free tuition for the workshop. We want your talent, we want your voice! Apps due Sunday, spread the word! #AWP19 #writersofcolor #weneeddiversebooks undergroundworkshop.org/about

One big takeaway from #AWP19: You gotta be able to READ your work. It's more than speaking words out loud; it's a performance. Our week-long seminar will include a public reading seminar, followed by a public reading the next day. Come join us in #PDX! undergroundworkshop.org/apply

We hope you had fun as much fun as we did at #AWP19. Now hurry up—applications to study with Charles D'Ambrosio are due this Sunday, April 7.

Underground Workshop salon! June 14th @motherfoucaults #AWP19

Thanks to @poetswritersinc for including us in their directory of conferences and residencies! pw.org/conferences/un…

"a remarkable sense of duty loyalty to my fellow man loyalty to my little brother linda the person i am in full conflict with the person i’ve established myself to be historically" from "like lilac," by Underground faculty member Jae Yeun Choi thevolta.org/twstbs-poem141…

We love this @parisreview piece, "A Poet's Complaints Against Fiction," & we share a disinterest in hero protagonists slaying the dragon. Let's write some fiction that makes readers look inward & confront the parts of themselves they'd prefer to ignore. theparisreview.org/blog/2019/03/1…

The baby is you. The rattle is our workshop. And if you go to our workshop you might get to meet the baby, and that’s worth money but we’re giving it away for freeeeeeeeeee undergroundworkshop.org/apply

“And for those who bear the brunt of hate because of the color of their skin, or the sound of their name, or the scarf on their head, or the person they love...you are known. You are loved. You are enough. Let your light shine. I wrote this book for you.” — @sam_aye_ahm

Don’t let your dogs’ talents go to waste. Apply to attend our summer fiction workshop.
