Description:Tired of stealing time to write? Buy yourself a whole week.

Imagine: seven days to live inside the book you want to write; seven days to work and rework your poems; seven days surrounded by people who grapple with sentences, who fall in love with books; seven days to soak in the salt air, to contemplate the waters of Casco Bay.

At the Stonecoast Writers' Conference students have the chance to work closely with a distinguished faculty composed of award-winning writers. We offer intensive workshops in each of four genres: poetry, short fiction, novel, and nonfiction. Daily lectures and nightly readings give students the opportunity to meet other writers and to explore work that expands and challenges our understanding of literature.

  • National reputation for supportive, challenging workshops
