IWP Writers-in-Residence introducing themselves to one another.

The IWP & the Moscow Art Theatre present Book Wings, a collaborative literary and theatrical exchange between American and Russian poets, actors, directors, and new media professionals. 

The Fall 2011 edition of 91st Meridian, an electronic publication of the International Writing Program at the University of Iowa, in Iowa City (41° 38' N /91° 33' W).

Preparations are underway for the fifth Between the Lines, a program that brings students from the US and other countries together for creative writing and cultural exchange. For the first time, there will be two sessions: BTL Russia (June 30-July 14) and BTL Arabic (July 13-27).

In 2009, the International Writing Program and the Chinese Writers' Association began a pilot exchange project, the Life of Discovery. The project’s aim is to bring together writers and artists from the United States and from the minority ethnic communities in the western regions of the People's Republic of China.

As the IWP’s distance learning initiative, the DLCWP seeks to maintain a visible, ongoing, and active IWP presence in the world. Programs are ongoing all year long, deepening existing connections and welcoming new collaborators.
