34th Annual Summer Writers Workshops


The 34th Annual Summer Writers Workshops are co-sponsored by
Hofstra’s English Department, the Creative Writing Program, and the Center for Continuing Education and Professional Advancement (CCEPA).

Nurture Your Inner Writer This Summer, Starting July 7th!
Spend two weeks this summer nurturing your writing talent through the stimulus and creative inspiration of our distinguished writers-in-residence. Led by master writers, the Summer Writing Workshops operate on the principle that true writing talent can be developed, nurtured and encouraged by writer-in-residence mentors. Workshop faculty has been chosen based on the impressive quality of their published work and their extraordinary skills as teachers and mentors.

Choose one of the following workshops:

  • Writing Poetry: Verse and Form
  • Writing Fiction
  • Writing for Children
  • Writing Varieties of Nonfiction: The Examined Life: Memoir, Autobiography and the Personal Essay
  • Screenwriting
  • Writing Genre Fiction
  • Playwriting: Go Fourth, Innovations in Writing for the Theater


Through intensive instruction, discussion, criticism and free exchange, writers begin to find their voice and their style. The workshops provide both group and individual sessions and also an opportunity to listen to teachers, other workshop participants and guest speakers read from published work and work in progress. The program also offers the chance to meet editors, publishers and celebrated authors—including a keynote banquet speaker—who offer practical advice and share their literary experiences.

The program is offered for noncredit or undergraduate/graduate credit, and students can choose to live on campus or commute.

For more information, or to register, please call (516)463-5016.
