A Home for Writers of all Levels – Now Offering a Virtual Experience
June 7-12, 2020
While the coronavirus means we can’t meet in person, we are excited to announce new and important information regarding Tinker Mountain Writers. Due to a stay-at home order in Virginia through June 10, we will not be able to host our usual residential program this June. While we are disappointed, everyone’s well-being is our greatest priority.
We have been hard at work developing an accessible and meaningful virtual residency, and we are certain we can provide a wonderful experience.
While it is true that there is no replacing face-to-face human interaction, we also know the depth of warmth, personality and kindness in our community of writers, and that each of us will contribute to making our time together the kind of experience that all of us can value and find truly sustaining. We hope that you will join us online in June!
