| Description: | Now celebrating its 32nd year, Aspen Summer Words is a pioneering writing retreat featuring hands-on instruction with some of today's most celebrated authors and educators. What sets this writers' conference apart is simple: the Aspen Writers' Foundation helps writers develop their craft by providing a winning combination of inspiration, knowledge and opportunity. This triple whammy takes place in the world-class, small town of Aspen -- a backdrop that has all the beauty of a national park and, during Aspen Summer Words, all the charm of your favorite bookstore. Suddenly your world as a writer -- and goodness knows that world can be a pretty lonely place -- will become a whole lot more friendly. Aspen Summer Words is a community that supports and engages writers. You will be among aspiring and established writers who share a kinship for the written word, and who happen to know you by name. With the Writing Retreat's welcoming staff, intimate workshops, convivial gatherings and direct access to authors, it's easy to envision your road to becoming an author. Think of Aspen Summer Words as the map. |
