A 6-week program of intensive support & accountability for advanced writers looking to make radical headway on a book.

The Incubator is predicated on the belief that community and morale are the invisible necessities of any multi-year creative undertaking. We bring attention to the critical “heartwork” of writing, all while fomenting daily progress on your manuscript.

Led virtually by editor/writer duo Anna Vodicka and Colleen Kinder, this first-of-its-kind Incubator combines the structure of an MFA with the empathy and individualized support of psychology-based coaching. Its singular combination of broad support and daily structure will immeasurably deepen and advance any manuscript, and propel writers forward with greater clarity and velocity—with the bonus of a tight-knit, talented writing community for the long haul.

The next Incubator runs September 2 - October 10, 2025. Applications open May 15 and close July 1. Selected writers will be notified by July 15. To learn more, attend our upcoming info sesh on Monday, June 16, 2025 at 8:30 EST; Zoom link here.

“The Incubator is a turbo-charger, a force-multiplier, an antidote to procrastination and loneliness. I can’t recommend it highly enough.”

Brian Benson, author of GOING SOMEWHERE
