Vermont Business Magazine Onion River Press, a locally owned independent
publishing company affiliated with Seven Daysies Winner Phoenix Books, announces the launch
of Onion River Workshop, an arts education company providing in-person programming for
writers of any level.
Vermont author and veteran teacher Rachel Carter has joined Onion River Press as program
director effective July 2023. For the past decade, Carter has taught creative writing at the college
level at both Columbia University and Champlain College.
“I’m so excited to join the Onion River Press team,” said Carter. “Both writing and teaching are
passions of mine, and I’m thrilled that we’ll be able to offer local writing classes that will help
aspiring authors achieve their dreams.”
Onion River Workshop will offer a broad array of classes, including shorter master classes and
longer, 5-week workshops, covering everything from fiction to poetry to creative nonfiction.
Acclaimed poet and Vermont State College Professor Liz Powell is slated to teach a poetry
masterclass at Onion River’s downtown Burlington studio in September.
In-person workshops will officially launch in October, with plans to expand to online and hybrid
courses in January 2024.
“We want to create an environment where every type of writer at every level feels welcome,”
Carter said. “Whether you’re writing a fantasy novel or you’re just getting started in poetry, we’ll
have a class for you.”
