A 6-week program of intensive support & accountability for advanced writers looking to make radical headway on a book.

The Incubator is predicated on the belief that community and morale are the invisible necessities of any multi-year creative undertaking. We bring attention to the critical “heartwork” of writing, all while fomenting daily progress on your manuscript.

Led virtually by editor/writer duo Anna Vodicka and Colleen Kinder, this first-of-its-kind Incubator combines the structure of an MFA with the empathy and individualized support of psychology-based coaching. Its singular combination of broad support and daily structure will immeasurably deepen and advance any manuscript, and propel writers forward with greater clarity and velocity—with the bonus of a tight-knit, talented writing community for the long haul.

The next Incubator runs September 3 - October 11, 2024. Applications open May 1 and close July 1. Selected writers will be notified by July 15.

“The Incubator is a turbo-charger, a force-multiplier, an antidote to procrastination and loneliness. I can’t recommend it highly enough.”

Brian Benson, author of GOING SOMEWHERE
