SIGN UP NOW FOR THE 2014 CLOCKHOUSE WRITERS' CONFERENCE AND RETREAT

2014 Clockhouse Writers’ Conference & Retreat

June 30 – July 4, 2014 – Registration is Open

Deadline is May 1^st 

Clockhouse Writers' Conference (CWC) holds an annual Conference & Retreat for graduates of the MFA in Creative Writing Program at Goddard College, which overlaps with the MFAW program's summer residency in Vermont.  CWC, founded in 1996 by a group of MFAW graduates, provides time, space, and mutual support for writers and their work, while offering support to the Goddard MFAW program.  

CWC is coordinated and run by its participants and includes solitary writing time, group discussions of works-in-progress, workshops, and formal readings.  We stay in a dorm (or off-campus, if you prefer) and eat in the cafeteria alongside current MFAW students and faculty.  We typically host the closing gathering of the MFAW residency.  This year’s conference will also include a celebration of 2103 official launch of our new literary journal, CLOCKHOUSE, and the unveiling of its 2014 issue.

When: June 30 – July 4, 2014

Check-in on June 30 from 11:00 – 2:00
