Zugzwang, TZL's weekly lit zine weekly workshop that invites local writers to share their work (e.g., verse, prose, experiments) for constructive critique.

The anticipated launch date for the workshops is late October with the reading in December. The workshop will run for 90-minute sessions over 6-12 weeks. The first half of each session will include intensive critique for 1-3 participants, and the second half will be free writing time prompted by workshopped pieces.
Interested? Email Miles ([email protected]). Use the Subject line “WORKSHOP” and include a short bio and statement of intent. Sample pieces are appreciated. Crit. placements are limited.
