Program

Writing workshops in fiction, creative non-fiction, and poetry are the heart of the curriculum. Each faculty member conducts small workshops, with class sizes ranging from eight to 15. Workshops will take place in the afternoons, with readings in the evenings. All participants will have opportunities to meet individually with faculty to ask questions and refine their work.
