Ashland Writers Conference Excellent in every way. Founded in 1997, AWC has established a reputation for bringing distinguished faculty to provide a unique literary experience designed to enrich your writing skills, and assist you in finding new modes of expression. This year, we are hosting workshops in poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction.
Participants work with one faculty member the entire week.
Support is important to us, so we make sure that students have an opportunity to get to know each other and the faculty members through various activities outside the classroom. Space is provided for group lunches daily. Every evening or afternoon there is either a faculty panel discussion or reading. And students also get a chance to share their work during a student reading at the end of the conference. Powers Special thanks to Southern Oregon University for their support.
