Applications now open for the 2023 American Short Fiction Workshop

Applications for the 2023 American Short Fiction Workshop are now open! This year’s four-day intensive will take place from Thursday, May 25, to Monday, May 29, in Austin, Texas, led by novelist and National Book Award finalist Dr. Brandon Hobson and acclaimed author and No Tokens Founding Editor T Kira Māhealani Madden.

If you are a writer looking to hone your craft, gain important insights from editors and award-winning authors, and discover a community that will last long past your time in Austin, we encourage you to apply today.

Participants will attend daily fiction workshops, one-on-one meetings with distinguished faculty, and craft lectures by faculty, special guests, and ASF editors. We’ll provide space to generate new work and make lasting connections amidst the sights, sounds, and swimming holes of Austin.

We hope that scheduling around the Memorial Day weekend will make attendance easier for working writers and parents. We will host an optional welcome party on Wednesday, May 24, for early birds and locals, and the week will be filled with readings, happy hours, and excursions to our favorite restaurants and bookstores.

To read more about this year’s program and find out how to apply, please visit the Workshop page.
