| Description: | Under the joint auspices of Skidmore College and the New York State Writers Institute at the University at Albany, the summer program is held on the campus of Skidmore College and will feature creative writing workshops in fiction, non-fiction and poetry. Students may enroll for two weeks (June 30-July 11 or July 14-25) or for the entire four-week session (June 30-July 25). The Institute offers courses for undergraduate and graduate credit and may be taken on a non-credit basis as well. A Senior Fiction Fellow reads entire student novels or extensive works in progress and meets with students on a tutorial basis. Monday through Friday evenings the program sponsors public readings by visiting and staff writers. Weekend programs for students and faculty include publishing symposia and student readings. An extraordinary staff of distinguished writers, among them winners of such major honors as the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, will serve as Institute faculty members. |
