Students will participate in daily workshop sessions July 6-9 taught by an experienced teaching staff. The program's curriculum also includes venturing into the city of Oxford and the surrounding region, an area rich in literary heritage with the legacy of author William Faulkner. In addition, the Oxford community is home to several nationally acclaimed journalistic and creative ventures such as Living Blues, The Oxford American and The Yalobusha Review. During the workshop, students will visit William Faulkner's home, Rowan Oak, and will attend literary readings by local writers and editors. The goals of the workshop include stimulating student creativity, developing imaginative skills, providing students with access to experienced faculty and writers, establishing a network of fellow writers, and providing participants with a forum for honest and constructive discussion of work.
