It’s not all fun and games at the Villa Diodati workshops. We actually do a lot of writing and critiquing, and some of what is written, brainstormed, or inspired gets submitted—and published.
This is a list of the works that were either workshopped or brainstormed at Villa Diodati and have since been sold or published.
