- First, access the application form by one of these methods:
--If you have Adobe Acrobat Reader, simply click here
<form.pdf - 95k portable document format file>
for the application form.
--If you have access to a Postscript printer and don't already have Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can download the application form in Postscript format
<form.ps - 648k Postscript file>
and print it, using the printer utility software that came with the printer.
--If you don't have Adobe Acrobat Reader, you can still download the application form in Adobe Acrobat format
<form.pdf - 95k portable document format file>
then download Adobe Acrobat Reader from
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
and use Acrobat Reader to print the form.
--If you get a PostScript error while printing, try scaling the document to 95% before printing.
--If all of this sounds like too much work, send a stamped, self-addressed #10 envelope to the address below, labeled Attention: Application Request
and we'll send you an application form in the return mail.
- Fill out the application form, sign, and date it.
- Choose a writing sample to accompany the application. The writing sample should represent your current abilities as a writer. It should be no more than 4,000 words long and should be in standard manuscript format.
If you have a complete short story that fulfills these qualifications, then that is often the best thing to send. If you write very short pieces, you may send more than one, if the total is under 4,000 words. If you only write longer stories or novels, then often the best option is to send the opening section of the work with a brief synopsis of the rest (the total of excerpt plus synopsis should be no more than 4,000 words).
- Send the application, writing sample, and $25 processing fee
(please don't send applications by e-mail!) to:
Odyssey
P. O. Box 75
Mont Vernon, NH 03057
Attention: Applications
Remember, the application deadline for this year's workshop is April 10!
