The renowned Silliman National Writers’ Workshop is now accepting applications for its 59th workshop to be held at the SU Rose Lamb Sobrepeña Writers Village in Valencia and at the university campus.
The workshop is offering 10 fellowships for writers in the Philippines and those chosen will be provided housing, a modest stipend, and a subsidy to partially defray the costs of their transportation, a media release from the organizers said Monday.
Applicants are asked to submit their manuscripts on or before Dec. 6 to be considered for the workshop, as there shall be no deadline extension.
All manuscripts should comply with the instructions, otherwise will be automatically eliminated as entries.
