The call for applications for the Inaugural Native American Writers Seminar is now closed.

Due to the incredible success of our year round writers programs, we are partnering with the Cherokee Nation Film Office to launch the Native American Writers Seminar. This is a new intensive that provides mentoring support for new and developing writers.

The Native American Writers Seminar is a multi-day workshop that will focus on the development of an existing script and provide preparation for submission to writing fellowships. The workshop will offer new tools for Native American writers to better compete as a creative and prepare them for professional opportunities. Instructors, speakers, and mentors in the workshop will offer insight into creative development, personal branding and discuss the writing landscape from their experienced perspective.

The purpose of the seminar is to further empower Native Americans to develop their writing craft and provide insight into the film and television industry. This seminar will also help them prepare a developed writing sample that can bolster their fellowship opportunities.
