2020 Writing Workshops
The writing workshop is the core of the Writers Colony program. Workshop classes are limited to 12 students. An experienced writer-teacher focuses on students' manuscripts, guiding each student in the creative acts of self-editing and revision through class exercises
and private conferences.
Registration will open late March/early April 2020. You register for the Summer Writers Colony by selecting a workshop. After you've registered, choose one literary salon (see below) for each week and email your salon choices to summerwriters@newschool.edu.
