Writers' Colony

The writers' colony is aimed at more experienced authors who just need some time--away from the demands of everyday life--to concentrate on a manuscript. As these conferees won't be attending classes, they will only be charged room and board plus $50. There are some requirements, however.

Persons wanting to participate will be known as conference "fellows." A "fellow" must have attended the conference as a full-time conferee at least once in the past three years. He or she must have a proven track record with significant publishing accomplishments.

"Fellows" are not permitted to attend daytime classes, but will receive all meals, and may attend the evening activities. Participation will be limited to 3 to 5 writers. There is no scholarship help available for this program.
