Introductory Consult Information

After your Free Consult, new ICG registrants take the next step with an Introductory Consult, an easy way for you to show us a sample of your writing, get a little feedback, and ultimately get organized for further support. The objective of the Introductory Consult is to advise you about how we can help you best. The Introductory Consult might lead to a one-time Read, Review, and Strategize Consult or to an extended Advanced Consult.

One note: Writers who have already taken workshops at the Attic Institute may be able to move directly into a Read, Review, and Strategize Consult or an Advanced Consult without going through the Introductory Consult step.

How it works: After registering for an Introductory Consult, you e-mail us up to 20 double-spaced pages. We'll take a look, schedule a second fifteen minute conference call with you to review your sample and, more important, discuss your next options.

A Statement of Our Values

The Attic Institute of Arts and Letters opposes the legitimation of bigotry, hate, and misinformation. As a studio for writers, we do not tolerate harassment or discrimination of any kind. We embrace and celebrate our shared pursuit of literature and languages as essential to crossing the boundaries of difference. To that end, we seek to maintain a creative environment in which every employee, faculty member, and student feels safe, respected, and comfortable — even while acknowledging that poems, stories, and essays delve into uncomfortable subjects. We accept the workshop as a place to question ourselves and to empathize with complex identities. We understand that to know the world is to write the world. Therefore, we reaffirm our commitment to literary pursuits and shared understanding by affirming diversity and open inquiry.
