After another year of the best laid plans going awry, we’re thrilled to have our second cohort of Hot Desk Fellows back in action. They are working on projects ranging from screenplays to comics, fiction, non-fiction and poetry. As their fellowships draw to a close, join us at The Moat for our last The Next Big Thing event of the year.
