The final revisions are up for the November workshop. We invite everyone to comment and help these writers assess and improve their work.

And don’t forget the December workshop begins on Saturday. We’ll take the first five qualifying entries — and that means the first five entries that follow the submission requirements EXACTLY. Email us your first 1250 words starting at noon Eastern 12/3/11. The full rules are here.

We have been extremely lucky this month to have two guest workshop mentors this month, both of them with keen editorial eyes. Please extend a special thanks to them, everyone, for all their hard work with the November entries.
