ZYZZYVA
There are presently no open calls for submissions.
As we all adhere to social distancing and sheltering in place in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, ZYZZYVA will continue to offer our Writer’s Workshops, in a slightly altered format.
These three-hour courses will be conducted over Zoom’s conferencing service, with varying class sizes of up to 12 attendees. Courses will include a craft lecture and generative writing prompts from the instructor, as well as group discussion.
