Thank you for your interest in the Kenyon Review Winter Online Writers Workshops (January 16 - February 20, 2027). The application for this workshop consists of this online application form, a resume, and a writing sample. For poetry, submit 3 to 4 poems; for fiction or nonfiction, submit between 5-20 pages of prose. 

We have limited partial scholarship funds to offer toward tuition for workshop participants who demonstrate financial need. All partial scholarships are granted on the basis of both merit and need. We especially encourage writers to apply who belong to underrepresented groups or underserved populations. If you would like to apply for a partial scholarship, please fill out the scholarship section.

You will need to create a free Submittable account in order to apply, which you can do below. If you already have a Submittable account, please sign in using your existing account. Be sure to add submittable.com to your address book and/or check your spam folders for email confirmations and notifications that we will send via Submittable.

Applications can be submitted between November 9 and December 11, 2026, and we make every effort to notify applicants within four weeks after applications close. Admissions decisions will be sent via email.
