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.

The
Antioch Writers' Workshop will continue to present its annual
summer writing conference in Yellow Springs, Ohio, in 2008
and for many years to come. Although the workshop originated
at Antioch College in 1986, in 1993 a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
entity was created, the Yellow Springs Writers' Workshop,
and we have operated as an independent organization, separate
from Antioch College, for the past 15 years.
We
recognize and celebrate Antioch College's tradition of literary
excellence, with such notable writing alumni as Lawrence
Block, Ralph Keyes, Sylvia Nasar, Louis Sachar, Dava Sobel,
Mark Strand, and Rod Serling. We will continue to partner
with Antioch University McGregor to provide continuing education
credit opportunities for our participants. |
