Writing Excuses Retreat - Free Scholarship

Sage
Writing Excuses is hosting a writer's retreat next year and are offering one free ride to someone who cannot afford the trip. To win the scholarship, you'll have to provide...

*A brief example of your writing, consisting of 1-3 separate pieces and totaling no more than 10,000 words. These can be short stories or novel excerpts or whatever you want, just make sure it’s your best work. Don’t feel obligated to fill the word limit–if you can wow us in less, more power to you.

*A personal essay explaining why you think you deserve the scholarship. This should be 450-700 words, and while we’re looking specifically for “need,” we’ll definitely be reviewing your writing style in terms of “merit.”

*Three brief letters (no more than 300 words each) from people not related to you. While the fiction and the personal essay should be included in a single email, these letters can be emailed individually by the people who write them, just make sure they include your name in the subject line.
We anticipate a huge response to this scholarship, so please be aware
