Washington literary artists are encouraged to participate in the 2011 EDGE Professional Development Program for Writers, sponsored by the Artist Trust and made possible by funding from Amazon.com.
The EDGE Program provides a hands-on, interactive curriculum that includes instruction by professional writers and editors, as well as specialized presentations, panel discussions and assignments. The EDGE Program focuses on supplying writers with the relevant and necessary entrepreneurial skills to achieve their personal career goals while developing peer support and exchange.
The EDGE Program for Writers is open to emerging or mid-career writers of poetry, fiction and creative nonfiction. Applicants must be residents of Washington State but cannot be students enrolled in a graduate or undergraduate degree program. Applicants must commit to completing the entire 50-hour program.
Artist Trust will offer the EDGE Program for Writers in Seattle from February 11 to March 25, 2011. Tuition is $400 per participant. Limited financial assistance is available, and a limited travel stipend is available to writers who must travel more than 45 miles to reach Seattle.
