This workshop will be IN PERSON at the Onion Office in Chicago, Illinois. By applying you are confirming your in-person attendance to this workshop on November 8th and 9th, 2025. *

Please note attending in-person allows for unique benefits (making new connections, putting names to faces, social events). While this workshop prioritizes the in-person experience, we want to give people who are unable to travel the opportunity to join. As a solution, we’re offering spots for a virtual class. Because the spots available for this class are limited, the application pool will be much more competitive. Please be advised that chances of being accepted into the program are higher if you apply for in person. Applicants MAY ONLY APPLY FOR EITHER IN PERSON OR VIRTUAL (preference can not be changed after application is submitted—no exception).

I am applying for the IN-PERSON workshop ONLY (Nov 8-9, 2025, at The Onion offices).

I am applying for the VIRTUAL workshop ONLY (Nov 8-9, 2025, over Zoom)
