The Brochure: COSTS AND DETAILS
SESSION I (TWO WEEKS) accomodates writers with a range of experience levels -- those beginning
study in a specific genre as well as those seeking to expand their study. This session encourages you to
experiment and take risks, offering many opportunities to trust your intuitions and test your commitment.
It features workshops, readings, conferences with our faculty, independently directed writing, and a variety
of venues for publication and performance.
SESSION II (THREE WEEKS) includes all Session I features plus guest writers, time for more
in-depth study, more emphasis on the finer points of technique and the realities of publication, all of which
develop a more heightened sense of purpose and command of craft. This advanced session accomodates
writers who want to deepen their understanding and control of a specific genre. It requires commitment,
focus, and reimagining the act of writing as revision.
OTHER DETAILS: A tuition of $1000 for Session I (2 wks) and $1550 for Session II (3 wks) includes
instruction by published professional writers who are also master teachers, trained counselors who
are both writers and teachers, PC computer facilities and a high-tech media center, room, board, recreation,
accident insurance, local transportation, and a personal copy of the Workshop literary magazine in which all
participants are published. The average writer-student ratio is 1:12. Dormitory rooms are double-occupancy; participants may request a roommate. The counselor-student ratio is 1:8; females and males are accommodated in separate suites. Students are carefully supervised in all aspects of the program.
