The Redbud Six Month Nonfiction Intensive is a program designed for advanced writers who are ready to make serious progress on a book-length nonfiction project —a memoir, essay collection, work of literary journalism, or even a hybrid/lyric work. For 2025, we will select ten students who together will go through a half year of classes, group work, and one-on-one meetings and manuscript reviews. During the last classes of the intensive, we will discuss how to pitch and shape your project for the marketplace.
