| Description: | We hope that you will want to join us on Grand Cayman with its magnificent beaches, crystal clear waters and wide array of shops and restaurants. Our program offers intensive, friendly, hands-on workshops and discussions intended to help writers at all stages of development: you can enroll in up to three different three-day class sessions, and enjoy agent/editor roundtables, nightly readings and more. Tuition is only $300 if you enroll by July 15. And if you would like to reserve an individual manuscript conference with a faculty member, you can do so for an additional $50. Do act promptly, however, as enrollment is limited and manuscript conferences sell out quickly, as will special-rate rooms at the world class Sunshine Suites (just $100 per night for a studio; $110 [deluxe studio]; and/or $125 [deluxe 1 BR suite]. Call 1-877-786-1110 and use code FIUWW). |
