The Antioch Writers' Workshop is a nationally renowned community
of writers that encourages creative writers at all levels by providing
inspiring, unique, and inclusive opportunities for professional
and personal growth. We embrace diversity and strive to meet the
high professional and artistic expectations our participants bring
to every program.
This year, as always, we will support and honor all genres and
forms of creativity in writing. Whether you write literary fiction,
romance or mystery, scholarly or creative nonfiction, poetry,
memoir, plays, or screenplays, we celebrate them all.
We welcome serious writers, new or seasoned. All types of writers
come to Antioch for inspiration, courage, and a review of the
principles of strong writing. We hope that you will join our community
of writers.
