Myla's next fiction workshop starts on Wednesday, May 9th, and will meet for 6 weeks at Paragraph's Union Square location every Wednesday evening from 6:30-9:00pm, through June 20th (skipping May 23rd).

Designed for writers looking to receive constructive and specific feedback within a supportive and engaged community of their peers, participants range in age from twenty-somethings to sixty-somethings, and represent various experience levels and interests, from flash fiction to the novel.

Everyone will get to present work twice, with additional time to discuss published stories from the perspective of craft, a model based on the workshops she's led over 10 years of teaching at the MFA programs of Brooklyn College, NYU, and Sarah Lawrence.

The workshop is open to 10 students, and will cost $750 (First 4 Paragraph members receive a $50 discount).  Myla is accepting applications (10-15 double-spaced pages of prose, please) through Friday, April 13th, on a first-come, first-served basis. This means an application received on March 25th will be prioritized above one of equal caliber received on April 3rd. 

Applications can be sent to Myla at myla@mylagoldberg.com.  If you've got any questions about this, feel free to drop her a line!

About: Myla Goldberg grew up in Laurel, Maryland, escaping to Ohio to attend Oberlin College. After graduating in 1993, she spent a year living in Prague, before moving to New York City. Her bestselling first novel, Bee Season, was a New York Times Notable Book for 2000, winner of the Borders New Voices Prize, and a finalist for the Hemingway Foundation/PEN award, the NYPL Young Lions award, and the Barnes & Noble Discover award. It has been adapted to film and widely translated. Her second novel Wickett’s Remedy grew out of her fascination with the 1918 influenza epidemic. Her third novel, The False Friend, concerns a woman trying to untangle a 20-year-old memory and explores the complexities of moral judgment, the fallibility of memory, and the adults that children become.
