Though she may be but little, she is fierce!

Iota celebrates the small, the brief, the miniature. Through online learning opportunities lasting from two hours to six months, writers learn skills, get feedback, and develop an understanding of how to say more with less. Alongside offerings focusing on the specifics of short forms, Iota offers opportunities to learn writerly basics such as revision, grants, artists statements, and more. 

If you’re a long-time Iotian, welcome back!

If you’re new, welcome to the Iota family! 

Here’s what past Iota participants have to say:

“I’ve been to other conferences and retreats, but there is no comparison: the attention to every detail really couldn’t be improved upon.”

“Iota  was not merely helpful in terms of insights gained, it was helpful in terms of revitalizing me before I head back home to write alone. When the interactions at a conference are so consistently positive, and the overall dynamic the same, it can make one feel they are one member of a big community.”

“I feel liberated and encouraged as a fiction writer making a jump to non-fiction. It was thrilling to find out how many options are available.”

“Living and learning in a tranquil environment surrounded by nature was very peaceful, and allowed me to focus on my writing and not worry about work and other responsibilities.”

“I came away with two revised pieces of work and still had time to go hiking twice a day!”

“They were wonderful! Beth Ann in particular was very helpful in leading me into generating new material, but I learned an enormous amount from both and felt so fortunate to learn from such distinguished writers. I really can't believe that I had the opportunity to do a workshop with Sven Birkerts! Pinch me!”
