<p>The Alpha deadline is March 1st.</p>
<p>I’ll jump on the Alpha boat, just for fun. I attended for two years, and will be returning this year on staff. The thing that makes Alpha different from other workshops I researched in high school is the emphasis on publishing and networking in addition to lectures and critiques. I’m in college now, and I recently began an internship that I heard about through Alpha contacts. Similarly, the workshop closes with a literary convention frequented by additional writers and editors. It’s some pretty cool stuff.</p>
<p>So! Good luck if anyone decides to apply, and good luck with your other programs!</p>
