The Writing Block

The Writing Block is a free six-week workshop designed to help writers complete short term writing projects (short stories, novel chapters, essays, poems, or scripts).

Raising Multiracial Kids

Parents of multiracial children face a unique set of challenges that don't get covered in the average parenting course. Their kids are experiencing the world in a totally different light, bringing up difficult questions, isolating experiences, and complex realities that the parents likely never had to navigate before.

In this workshop we will discuss how parents can raise these incredible kids to embrace all of who they are and grow into healthy, grounded adults

Editor's Workshop

The Editor’s Workshop prepares authors and poets to advance their chances of placing as finalists and winners in upcoming writing contests and improves the quality of their work for submissions to any publication. In the course, students will become familiar with Kinsman Quarterly’s overall scoring system and receive a preliminary score along with tips on how to improve their individual pieces.
