Individual Consult Group

at the Attic Institute

We're iike you, and we know that a writing coach or editor or literary trainer who is on your side is essential. Since 1999, we've worked with thousands of writers to make the Attic Institute a haven for creativity and literary success. From that experience, we know that just as actors need directors, orchestras need conductors, and painters need dealers, so it is too that writers need editors, agents, and publishers.

We make the process of getting one-on-one consults easy and, just as important, productive. We help you organize your wriiting project, prioritize your literary goals, and strategize for success with a specifically-selected member of the ICG based on your literary ambitions, interests, manuscript, and needs.

To get started, it only takes a quick e-mail.
 

Tell us about your writing situation, and we'll help you plot a way forward from first draft onward toward publication.

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.
