Sunday Shorts: A (Somewhat) Silent One Story Reading Club
Online, various Sundays January-June 2026
What’s better than a great short story? Reading a great short story together! In this class, students will meet once a month to read a past issue of One Story from our archives. The best part? There’s no advance reading! During each session, students will meet on zoom to silently read that month’s chosen story, followed by a brief group discussion. The meeting will end with a conversation with either the author of the issue. Sign up today for six months of reading and community with One Story.

Hit Submit: Sending Your Work to Magazines, Residencies, & Agents
Online, Asynchronous
How do I submit my work to a literary magazine? What goes into an artist statement for a residency or writing workshop? How do I approach an agent? Designed for fiction writers of all levels, this asynchronous class will answer these questions—and more—about how to present your work and yourself to the editors, agents, and selection committees on the other side of the submit button. You’ll leave armed with the skills you need to prepare your work, organize your submissions, and craft great cover letters and artist statements to use in applications to residencies, MFA programs, writing workshops, and beyond.
