Description:

Since 1996, Vermont College of Fine Arts has offered a unique summer gathering for postgraduate writers seeking a place to connect and recharge, and boost their process and craft to new levels. At the heart of the Conference is our small-workshop structure. Daily critique groups led by an award-winning faculty and limited to 5 or 6 participants encourage a level of intimacy and intensive focus on each writer's work that year after year leads attendees to rate this their all-time best workshop. Along with workshops in Creative Nonfiction/Memoir, Novel, Short Story and Writing for Young Adults, we offer both Poetry and our special Poetry Manuscript sections. Each participant has an individual consultation with faculty. The schedule also features readings by faculty and participants, generative writing sessions, craft talks, shared meals and a variety of social events that help galvanize our lively, inclusive community. Visit our website for more details, an d contact Ellen Lesser, Conference Director, with any questions.
