Creative Writing Workshop

June 24-29, 2012

Held at scenic Frostburg State University, home to noted writers Barbara Hurd (author of Stirring the Mud and Entering the Stone), Brad Barkley (Allison's Automotive Repair Manual and Another Perfect Catastrophe and Other Stories) and Gerry LaFemina (The Window Facing Winter and The Parakeets of Brooklyn), the Creative Writing Workshop is an opportunity for high school sophomores, juniors and seniors to spend a week of intensive study in fiction writing, poetry writing or creative nonfiction writing.

Attending students will get an experience with literature and language beyond the average high school's goals and requirements-including the production of polished poems, stories, or essays, publication on-line, and the opportunity to study with respected and well published contemporary poets, fiction writers, and essayists.

Furthermore, by learning to read texts like writers, as opposed to literature students, participants will get a greater understanding of what choices make a piece of writing individual and powerful, will become more attentive readers, and will become more aware of the countless potentialities for their own written work.
