Workshop Scholarship Available
By Writer Unboxed | March 23, 2010 |
Free Expressions Seminars is now welcoming applications for a full scholarship to its acclaimed Writing the Breakout Novel Weeklong Intensive, with top New York literary agent, Donald Maass.
The scholarship is available for one student who wishes to participate in the September 13-19 Writing the Breakout Novel Intensive, to be held in Charlotte, NC. It covers complete room, board, tuition and all other workshop expenses, except transportation.
The workshop offers thirty-five writers the opportunity to dig into their novels-in-progress in an intensive workshop in which they take daily classes with Don Maass and receive in-depth feedback on their work from Maass and a roster of experienced industry professionals.
Suitable for published and pre-published writers alike, the workshop’s core focus is on creating a “breakout” work, one that transcends genre to offer a rich, dramatic, and memorable experience to the reader.
“Even though this workshop regularly goes to waiting list status, we know that not every writer can afford the investment,” says workshop director, Lorin Oberweger. “We wish we could help a thousand writers, but this is one small way for us to lend a hand.”
For more information on the workshop or to download a scholarship application and information, visit: www.free-expressions.com. Or call toll-free: 866-497-4832.
Writer Unboxed began as a collaboration between Kathleen Bolton and Therese Walsh in 2006. Since then, the site has grown to include ~50 regular contributors and a variety of guests on rotation throughout a given year.
In 2016, the Writer Unboxed team published a book with Writer’s Digest / Random House. AUTHOR IN PROGRESS: A No-Holds-Barred Guide to What It Really Takes to Get Published is a comprehensive guide focused on helping writers over/around/through hurdles faced at every stage of the novel-writing process. It’s received some ***** reviews; we hope you’ll check it out.
If you’d like to be among the first to know about the next Writer Unboxed UnConference, which will likely tie-in with WU’s 20th Anniversary celebration, please sign up for our mailing list!

I went to their website, but I didn’t see anything that mentioned a scholarship for that workshop.
Thanks for posting, Therese!
For folks who are having trouble finding the link: it’s on the front page of the site, on the right side beneath the box that mentions the Fall Retreat.
Certain browsers don’t open full pages, so you might need to scroll over to the right to see it!
Good luck applying!
