Thank you so much to those who have submitted soft copies of their works. I have gone through all of them na. Mary and Leia, please submit na. :)
I need Cheky's e-mail address, does anyone know what it is? She needs a soft copy of your works too, unless you want her to type all of it again. 0_o
So far, here's a list of what's going into the folio. Again we have decided on having a theme for the folio after all: Beginnings and Endings. Almost everything falls under that anyway.

Blue Beard by Aya
The Bender and the Mystic by Aya
The Place I'll Return to Someday by Aya
Little Miss America by Karen
Endings (not in order)Not have been by Bea
Cantata by Aya

Undefined by MJ
I'm still deciding on the others.
If you wish to say something about your piece in the intro, please e-mail me at
r0nnie_bass@yahoo.com (that's ronnie with a ZERO). I would be more than happy to tell the people about: a)Why you wrote what you wrote b) What you want people to know about what you wrote or c)Who you're dedicating your work to.

The first screening panel, composed of the workshop's resident writers, selects the writing fellows for the summer based on the manuscripts submitted by the applicants. These selected manuscripts are forwarded to the Director of the Workshop, who does the final screening and formally approves the final lineup of writing fellows.
The writing fellowship covers lodging for the full 22 days of the duration of the entire workshop, a modest stipend, one-way fare reimbursement, and workshop manuscripts and reading materials.
The applicant must submit original manuscripts consisting of at least three to five short (3-5) stories, or three to five (3-5) essays/creative non-fiction, or two (2) one-act plays, or seven to ten (7-10) poems. Stories, poems, plays, and essays in English are preferred. Only unpublished manuscripts are accepted. Works which have previously won in literary contests will not be accepted.
