The Attic Institute Is The Birthplace Of Portland's Literary Renaissance

The Attic Experience

"I recently signed a contract with a journal called Big Pulp, and expect to see my short story in print soon. This is my first sale. The piece benefited greatly from my relationship with the Attic Institute. I took my first workshop with Merridawn Duckler. This was a tremendous experience not only for the instruction received, but for the relationships I established with other writers in the class. Four of us continue to meet monthly. My story debuted to this group and their comments led to a round of revisions that made it stronger. In the meantime, I enrolled in Shanna Germain's class, where my story received additional attention that resulted in improvements. Thanks, Attic Institute, for your knowledgeable instructors, and for the community with other writers that your workshops inspire."
