Crafting a sentence or phrase can be one of the most challenging and rewarding of any of the art forms. The Interlochen Writers Institute helps writers discover their hidden talents and gives them the tools they need to develop and refine their genre.  Participants will attend workshops, faculty presentations and guest artist readings.

“The faculty was excellent; they were the gems of the program.  It was a perfect balance of small group, large group, alone time and social time.  I learned so much in five short days and had so much fun.  I absolutely hope this institute happens every year.”
Debra Stulberg, 2007 Writers Institute Participant

"I loved the structure of the conference; the morning sessions followed by afternoon lectures, writing time and evening readings.  I can’t say enough positive things about the experience and can’t wait to return."
Elif Wisecup, 2007 Writers Institute Participant
