Lyzette Wanzer, MFA

One of the first steps to writing grants and applying for fellowships and artists' residency is your artist statement. As author statement also takes pride of place on your author webpage. This statement serves as your opportunity to demonstrate that you are a thoughtful, deliberate writer who takes their literary career seriously and who is deserving of funding. In this seminar, you will learn how to cast your work in its strongest, most evocative light. You will read several statement examples, learn how vetting committees use them, and then craft, workshop, and revise your own statement. Open to writers of all genres including fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, songwriting, essays, and graphic novels. Join us, online or in person!
