Congrats on your acceptance to the 2026 Novel Intensive! To reserve your spot, please make your payment by Jan. 7, 2026.

A note on pricing: The “true price” reflects the true cost of the class, which includes paying a fair wage to our staff and instructors, rental fees for the Redbud headquarters and for the community spaces where we host our classes, website and administrative/commerce fees, outreach and advertising to spread the word about our offerings, and the coordination and administration for our community classes, which serve people who could not otherwise access creative writing. The “base price” is the subsidized price. Please select the price that works best for you.

We will offer one scholarship to allow a student to participate in the course tuition-free. If you would like to donate to that scholarship fund to help your classmate, you’ll have the option of adding $100 or $500 to the cost of the course.

Thank you! We’re looking forward to having you in the class!
