MACONDO WRITERS WORKSHOP – VIRTUAL EDITION

 

JULY 26- JULY 30, 2022 

SAN ANTONIO, TX       

 

The Macondo Writers Workshop is an association of socially-engaged writers working to advance creativity, foster generosity, and serve the community. Founded in 1995 by writer Sandra Cisneros and named after the town in Gabriel García Marquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude, the workshop gathers writers from all genres who work on geographic, cultural, economic, gender, and spiritual borders. An essential aspect of the Workshop is a global sense of community; participants recognize their place as writers in our society and the world. We are also seasoned writers who demonstrate a professional or master’s level of writing. Qualified applicants must meet both criteria. Excellent writing does not excuse poor community spirit; vice-versa, an impressive record of community involvement does not excuse poor writing. Macondo is a gift we give to one another, with willing hands and open hearts. 

 

THE APPLICATION DEADLINE IS FEBRUARY 20, 2022 (11:59 PM PACIFIC TIME). ACCEPTED PARTICIPANTS WILL BE NOTIFIED NO LATER THAN MARCH 31, 2022 AND ANNOUNCED NO LATER THAN APRIL 9, 2022.
