You’ll lead writing workshops, offer one-on-one consultations, and mentor aspiring authors. You will also have dedicated time, space, and resources to work on your own creative projects. If you're passionate about storytelling and supporting fellow writers, we’d love to hear from you!
VPL offers the Writers' Room to connect aspiring writers together, discuss topics like plot, character, and style, as well as share works and receive feedback. We also offer other writing programs throughout the year.
