Subscribers
Academy
Special Thanks to our Sponsors


The Subscribers Academy initiative is part of Kinsman Quarterly's mission to equip underrepresented writers through fundamental writing courses. Our low-cost courses are available for Basic Members upon login. As a Priority Member (Professional or Premium Member), you have unlimited access to all of Kinsman Quarterly's live and self-paced online courses throughout the year. Note that we will regularly add courses about the writing craft, editing, publishing, queries, marketing, and more.
This initiative was made possible in part through funds from the Genesee Valley Council on the Arts’ Aid to Localities Program. This LitNYS project is also made possible by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.
