Registration is currently sold out. Please scroll down for information about the waiting list.
WHAT’S INCLUDED?
The week kicks off with three full days of intensive workshops taught by the WX hosts. All on-campus meals are included during the week.
WX will also be recording sessions while there, so you will get an opportunity to shape episodes by the questions you ask. Plus you get to watch the team record live.
Starting on Wednesday evening, the remainder of the week is time for you to put what you learned to good use, and write. You’re out of excuses…
