"There is so much that makes the Community of Writers Summer Writing Workshop incredibly special. From the moment you arrive, you are made to feel part of a unique fellowship that is genuinely there to support, nurture, and celebrate each writers’ journey. Every single staff and faculty member (including the elves!) is deeply committed to the practice and artistry of writing, and the time spent during that week— from the workshops, to the craft talks, to the author readings, and beyond— is collectively held as sacred. It is the ultimate growth experience for writers." Stephanie Sanchez, 2026 Participant
