| Description: | The Summer Writers Colony is an opportunity for students interested in writing under the direction of master teachers who are themselves distinguished practitioners and to meet other notable authors, editors, and publishers. Workshops are offered in fiction, poetry, and writing for children. Students also participate in the summer literary salon series, and the many other special events offered, including craft seminars, publishing panels, a literary walking tour, and a bookmaking seminar. This program is intended for writing students of all ages. Note: Undergraduate students may choose whether to take the course for credit or non-credit. Those taking the program for credit should check first with their home institutions to make sure that the credits will transfer. There is no application necessary.
