In Spring of 2027, Lit Youngstown will invite seven regional fiction writers to lead workshops on dialogue in fiction. Together, participants will look at examples of fictional exchanges, learn from visiting writers, and offer suggestions on one another's stand-alone or excerpted scenes. In addition to five monthly workshops, participants will also be given the option to add a one-on-one manuscript review with a First Wednesday fiction writer on a first come first serve basis. The group will meet at LOOP Youngstown's Arts and Culture Center on the 2nd Saturday of every month from January to May from 10:00am-3:00pm. The deadline to register for this workshop series is December 1, 2026. More information at lityoungstown.org
