<p>Congratulations to everybody who got in!
I'm not entirely sure if all teachers require this, but for at least Anjali (the fiction teacher), she wanted everybody to bring one of their best writing samples.
Can this sample be the same one you sent in to the program in the first place?
Thanks!
Feel free to discuss anything concerning this program also, excited to see everybody in session 1!</p>
<p>@Weeender I’m going to Session 1 too! 
Congrats for getting in.</p>
<p>My teacher, Ashley Clarke, also wants us to bring samples. I’m bringing something new, since it’ll be workshopped, and I’d like to submit it to contests or literary magazines afterwards. I would suggest bringing something new!</p>

I’m actually amazed I found somebody who’s going to IYWS on CC!!
Oh yeah alright I understand
Have you received a book yet? My roommate says he has but i still havent… </p>
<p>@Weeender yeah it’s been hard finding anyone!
I got a book a couple days ago, it definitely should’ve arrived by now for you…</p>
For those of you who have gotten into the Iowa Young Writers Program – What advice would you give to a student applying for this coming year?
