“mountain and wilderness writing”
In the niche genre of mountain literature, the journey of self-exploration and the psychology of extreme endeavours are as integral as the physical accomplishments themselves. This program emphasizes literary quality and narrative development. Writers are encouraged to meet regularly with faculty and fellow participants to share work and exchange ideas.
During this program writers will take part in scheduled workshops with faculty and guests to:
explore the elements of a compelling narrative.
discuss themes in mountain and wilderness writing.
receive feedback on works-in-progress from faculty.
share strategies and best practices with peers.
Participants will also benefit from:
uninterrupted writing time in an inspiring mountain environment.
access to a personal studio space for focused creative work.
on-campus lodging and meals to support a fully immersive experience.
Scholarships available.
