The VONA/Voices Workshop (writing workshops for writers of color) application deadline for the summer workshop at the University of California Berkeley, June 22-28, 2014, has been extended to March 15th, because we have received a grant from the Surdna Foundation, allowing us to offer 50 one-half tuition scholarships.
