Good afternoon to you all from Brier Island, NS where our fearless leader Jen Knox and I have been sequestered at a writing residency for the past few weeks. The short and long of it is: it’s been divine.
(So cool, right?!)
Aside from some writing, Jen and I have been engaging in some serious brainstorming and I thought I would share a few things:
Firstly, our Work-in-Progress Award is closing soon! This is a great opportunity for those that have a work in progress on the go and are looking for some support. The Unleash WIP Award offers writers support in the amount of $500 to supplement costs to support the completion of a book-length work of fiction, nonfiction, or poetry. Writers will receive editorial feedback, coaching meetings, and an excerpt/interview feature here in Unleash Lit.
Next, we’d like to introduce the Accountability and Resilience Group! You are invited: Join our Creative Resilience and Accountability Circle on July 11th at 3 p.m. PT, 6 p.m. ET (1 hour). Founder Jen Knox will lead our first session (30 minutes intros/check-in/goal-setting and 30 minutes book discussion). We will also focus on the book Letters to a Young Poet by Rilke (don’t worry if you haven’t read it!). Check out the latest here.
And finally, we’ve got a pretty awesome online event planned for the fall, so make sure you take advantage of our early bird pricing and get this on your calendars! We have curated a bevy of incredible teaching artists who are looking forward to meeting you in October.
Stay tuned for more awesomeness to come!
