2020 Vermont Young Writers' Conference

There will be one VIRTUAL writing conference from Thursday, June 25, to Sunday, June 28. Going cyber will allow us to expand our workshop offerings, while maintaining our traditional schedule of events. It is our hope that you will emerge from three days of VYWC as enriched, interconnected, & invincible as if we had been circling the fire on Summer's Gale Farm.

As ever, expect to participate in over ten hours of intensive fiction, poetry, songwriting, creative non-fiction, script writing, and filmmaking workshops; exchange and critique manuscripts; attend interactive craft sessions; and meet one-on-one with your workshop leader. In addition to Moth storytelling, poetry slams, & open mic sessions, we will also offer agri-tutorials on beekeeping, soil building, & environmental stewardship.

Please note: Instead of offering chaperone-only writing workshops, VYWC's virtual platform will allow us to consider any adult applicant who would like to attend the conference. Whether you are a published author or a student of the arts, an intensive VYWC workshop will offer you the opportunity to plug in, dust off, and invigorate your work with other writerly teachers, parents, & students.

To accommodate this change, we have extended our APPLICATION DEADLINE to May 14.  If you have already submitted your application, rest assured the review process will begin shortly. For more information, please visit our website: https://vermontyoungwritersconference.com/
