Welcome Writers and Editors,

The following form has room for all of the information that Dzanc Books needs to consider your participation in Dzanc Day 2011, which will be held on April 9, 2011. We greatly appreciate your offer to volunteer and help us create the most exciting workshop day of the year. March 30, 2010 was our first Dzanc Day and we set up nearly 40 workshops in over 20 states. It is our goal to go bigger this year and to make each workshop be as efficient as possible. 

The plan is for the workshops to be two hours long for which Dzanc Books will charge $30. Again, we greatly thank you for volunteering your time and helping us to raise money which will go toward our Dzanc Writer in Residence Program as we look to expand the number of programs we run each year.

What we're looking for from you at this time is some basic information: your name and contact information, the location that you propose holding a workshop at, your bio, and the type of workshop you propose to run (a short paragraph description would be great). In the additional information field, if you could, let us know what type of contacts you have within the area in regard to reaching writers that might be interested in such a workshop.

This form does not yet contain any fields.
