The Writer's Hotel Workroom 1 is a virtual, one-on-one program designed for writers who have completed a full manuscript and are approaching the agent submission stage. Unlike conventional workshops or conferences, this opportunity centers on a single, comprehensive reading of the entire manuscript by two editors, Scott Wolven and Shanna McNair, who review the work together as a team. The structure ensures that each writer receives dual perspectives in a unified set of notes, rather than fragmented feedback from multiple readers. The program is explicitly positioned as a final polish before sending a manuscript to agents. It includes a follow-up phone call to strategize next steps and discuss agent referrals. The editors' dual reading is performed once, and the turnaround is roughly six weeks. The maximum reading length is 100,000 words, unless an exception is made. All applicants under consideration are phoned for an interview, indicating a selective, conversation-based admissions process. With a fee of $1500, this is a paid opportunity rather than a prize or grant. It is offered on a first-come, first-serve basis, which suggests that early inquiry is advisable. The program is virtual, removing geographic constraints, and is open to writers in fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and screenplay/scripts, though the primary focus of Workroom 1 is a full manuscript reading. The curatorial vision is one of rigorous, personalized attention aimed at writers who are serious about the next phase of their professional trajectory.
