Applications for the event will be accepted till May 5. So, if you didn’t hear about this till now, you have the weekend to make it in time. For more details, refer to the official Web-sites (1 | 2).

In addition to some writers from the North, the workshop will also feature noted French screenwriter Jean Claude Carriere (more about him in a separate post) via video-conference.
