| Description: | Discover the Writer's Life in New York City The Summer Writers Colony curriculum consists of a writing workshop, literary salons, and a busy schedule of supplemental activities. Writers can expect to attend seminars, workshops, salons and readings from noon to 8:00pm Monday through Thursday. Writers are encouraged to use mornings and the three-day weekends to devote a substantial amount of time to their own writing and to explore the city. The Writing Workshop The writing workshop is the core of this intensive program. An experienced writer-teacher focuses on student manuscripts, guiding you in the creative acts of revision and self-editing through class exercises and private conferences. Workshop classes are limited to 12 students. Literary Salons Have you ever wished you could experience a new book with the author beside you, reading passages aloud and responding to your questions? In each of these unique seminars, a professor from the New School Writing Program introduces a book over two evenings of informed, lively discussion. For the third evening, the author joins the class for an intimate reading and Q&A. Summer Writers Colony students attend three salons, one each week. The author appearances are staggered so that you may attend all six readings. Typical Schedule 12:30 - 2:00pm Supplemental Session (craft seminars, publishing panels, and readings) 2:30 - 5:00pm Workshop 6:00 - 7:50pm Literary Salon |
