It must be tough to become part of this. How did you apply then?

Hi Janette. Yes, it's really not easy to get to any national writers workshop such as IYAS. I just sent in my entries and wait for the result after about a month. I just tried submitting an entry every year (hoping for luck to come) until my entry was chosen in 2005. In 2004, I was in the waiting list only.

Hi there! I'm glad to have come across your blog since I really need to know whether they accept submissions in English. I've been e-mailing Ms. Fuentes but she doesnt reply. Anyway, I really hope they do accept English works. I tried last time in 2008, under Filipino short story, I was in the waiting list.

anyway, thanks again. I;m gonna take ur word that they take English pieces. See ya

Hi Ewong. I also emailed Dr. Fuentes a long time ago but there was no reply. I think they also accept English coz they have panelists for English pieces. I think I have to make kulit to a faculty from USLS for the peace of everyone. I'll update this blog. Thanks for dropping by.
