Voices. Elevated.
The Elk River Writers Workshop embodies the idea that deep, communal experiences with the wild open the door to creativity. We bring together some of the most celebrated nature writers in the United States with students who are serious about fostering a connection with place in their writing. It all happens at Chico Hot Springs, a historic retreat just north of Yellowstone National Park.
Applications open September 1, 2023!
TUPELO PERFECT TEN: AN INTENSIVE “WORKSHOP”
September 27th- 30th, 2024
The Tupelo Truchas Poetry Conference began as a writer’s retreat at a cherished location, Truchas Peaks Place in Truchas, New Mexico. Over the years we have built a powerful writing workshop and formed a warm community of faculty and alumni.
​
Working with small intimate groups of participants over a four-day period, you will select a set of your best poems and learn how to make them as close to perfect as possible. By the end of these four days, you will have a full set of tools including:
-
revision strategies that work for your poems;
-
demystifying the submission process;
-
how to read like an editor;
-
how to master the Zen of getting published;
-
and how to apply the lessons learned at Truchas to your writing life.
