You're one application away from a May in Iceland.

Writing Workshops Iceland runs May 23–28, 2027, with three cohorts of no more than 10 writers each: Fiction with Karen E. Bender, Nonfiction with Robert Anthony Siegel, and the Master Class & Generative Seminar with Ramona Ausubel, open to every genre.

Your application takes a bio (500 words max), a purpose statement (1,000 words max), and a writing sample (5,000 words, or 10 pages of poetry — excerpts welcome, published or not). Tell us which cohort you're applying for. Poets: the Master Class is your cohort.

We review applications on a rolling basis until each cohort fills, then open waitlists. Early applications are strongly encouraged. Questions before you apply? Contact us — we reply promptly.
