Applications / Eligibility


Persons wishing to attend the Macondo Workshop as first year participants must be nominated in writing by past participants of the Macondo Writing Workshop and must apply for admission by completing the First Year Application (Annual Deadline: January 31st.)

As an association of socially-engaged writers working to advance creativity, foster generosity, and serve community, the Macondo Foundation seeks generous and compassionate writers who view their work and talents as part of a larger task of community-building and non-violent social change. Additionally, applicants must fulfill at least TWO of the following requirements:
  • Published 1 or more books of poetry, fiction, or creative non-fiction.
  • Published at least three (3) poems, stories, or works of creative nonfiction in journals or magazines.
  • Be currently enrolled in or have completed an MFA writing workshop.
  • Completed a book-length manuscript.
  • Studied under at least three different writers.
In the future, the Macondo Workshop may change its applications policies so that writers may not have to be nominated by current members. If you would like to be notified when our application process changes, please email: macondo@macondofoundation.org
