The Duke University Writers' Workshop is an intensive, small-group learning experience designed to stretch participants' creative capacities and knowledge in a supportive and noncompetitive environment.
Our instructors are chosen not only for their distinguished professional credentials, but also for their skill in building a learning community where the joy of new discovery is primary.
During the workshop, time is also reserved for relaxation, recreation and reflection.
The mission of the Duke Writers' Workshop is:
- To provide a generous, supportive environment for adult writers at all levels of experience to reflect on the challenges and rewards of writing and to focus on improving their craft.
- To offer first-rate instruction across genres with an emphasis on identifying, shaping, and polishing each participant's distinctive voice and material.
- To foster a spirit of community where all participants may receive an honest and sensitive appraisal of their works in progress.
