| Description: | Description: Discover the writer's life in New York City. This intensive three-week summer program provides a supportive yet demanding atmosphere in which to develop as a writer. Students are offered the chance to embark on a new writing project or to devote a substantial amount of time to developing a work-in-progress. Writing workshop instructors guide discussion of student work and provide detailed written feedback. Summer literary salons bring notable writers into conversation with the students and faculty of the colony. In supplemental sessions, students try everything from experimental fiction to children's writing to writing walking poems during a literary tour of New York City's Greenwich Village. The Summer Writers Colony community gathers for celebratory readings of student and faculty work. Courses meet from 12:00 noon to 8:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday. Mornings and weekends are reserved for regular writing practice. Undergraduate students can earn 6 credits. The Writers Colony is also open to noncredit students. |
