Our senior staff is here to talk with you about writing and the writing life, and to work with you on your fiction or poetry. Whether you are a veteran writer or a novice, we intend to offer you a range of consultations, workshops, craft talks, panel discussions, readings and informal conversations that will sustain your long-range efforts or help you get started. The day begins at 9 a.m. with a craft talk by one of the six senior instructors. Workshops follow at 10, with analysis of one s work and that of ten fellow participants.
Conferees remain in the same workshop group with the same instructor for the entire week.
Participants will benefit from individual conferences with their instructors. Please consult the schedule below for a more complete sense of the week s shape and substance. All meals will be provided on campus. Colgate University is located in Hamilton, New York. The campus is a nationally-known jewel of intellectual achievement and physical beauty.
