Tin House accepts applications beginning January 1. Students are encouraged to apply early, as many workshops fill rapidly.

You will be notified of acceptance or rejection within four weeks after receipt of your application.

General admission is granted on a first-come, first-serve basis. Acceptance to the Workshop is based on the strength and promise of the submitted writing sample and the Tin House editorial board's evaluation of how an individual might benefit from the conference.

Past participants need to apply again. If you attended the workshop in 2007, all application fees are waived.

Scholarship Deadline:
The final postmark deadline for scholarships is March 15, 2008. No exceptions will be made.

FOOD & LODGING: $575.00, $475.00
Note: because of construction on Reed's campus, some participants will have to share a "double" room offered at the reduced rate. Keep in mind that these rooms are only technically doubles, because they share a common entrance; they are divided by a doored wall, which ensures privacy. To see examples of the dorm's floor plan, see the Meals & Lodging section of the Logistics page. There are a limited number of these rooms available.
