The Colrain Poetry Manuscript program
The Colrain Poetry Manuscript Intensive is a one-of-a-kind, total immersion weekend designed for poets with book-length manuscripts looking for a publisher. The Intensive is small (6-8), and poets work closely with either Jeffrey Levine (Tupelo Press) or Martha Rhodes (Four Way Books) along with founder Joan Houlihan. The Intensive is held at the beautiful Brandt House in Greenfield, Mass. Please see the following web pages for more information and the entrance requirements:
January 14-17: http://www.colrainpoetry.com/january/
With Joan Houlihan and Jeffrey Levine
February 24-27: http://www.colrainpoetry.com/february/
With Joan Houlihan and Martha Rhodes
The Intensive includes a pre-conference reading of your entire manuscript, pre-conference work, and in-depth sessions with both editors. If you have a manuscript that has come close to publication (e.g. finalist, semi-finalist, positive feedback from a publisher), or if you attended a previous Colrain conference and wish to re-visit your manuscript in a smaller, in-depth session, the Intensive is for you.
NOTE: Our regular Colrain Poetry Manuscript conferences start again in March, 2012. For information, please see:

Since our first conference, in March of 2006, over 55 Colrain manuscripts have been accepted for publication.
