Odyssey Writing Workshop 2021 • June 7-July 16Saint Anselm College • Manchester, New Hampshire
Since its inception in 1996, Odyssey has become one of the most highly regarded workshops for writers of fantasy, science fiction, and horror. Guest lecturers include top writers, editors, and agents. Fifty-nine percent of graduates are professionally published, and among graduates are New York Times bestsellers, Amazon bestsellers, and award winners.
Held in New Hampshire each summer, Odyssey combines advanced lectures, in-depth feedback, and individual guidance. Class meets for over 4 1/2 hours, 5 days/week. Students devote afternoons/evenings to writing, critiquing each other's work, and completing class assignments. Guest lecturers visit one day/week. College credit is available.

What Graduates Say

"The first two stories I ever sold would not have been written without Odyssey." —Elaine Isaak
