A Home for Writers of All Levels
Since 2005, Tinker Mountain Writers Workshops have nurtured and empowered writers of all ability levels. Over 850 writers have participated through manuscript reviews and “write now workshops” in poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. Spend time with us and leave with a new manuscript, or with new ideas for your existing work.
We offer our week-long residential Summer Workshop and a three-day online Winter Virtual Workshop. You can participate and learn in the format that works best for you!
Over 25% of our participants have attended Tinker Mountain Writers more than once. Why don’t you join them and see how we can help you create something great?
