The Washington University Summer Writers Institute is an intensive, two-week program featuring workshops in genres such as fiction, micro fiction, modern humor, personal narrative, playwriting, and poetry. Adult writers of all levels of experience work together with published authors and exceptional teachers in a supportive, non-competitive format that allows for personalized attention and constructive feedback.
Institutes are held evenings and weekends to accommodate the busy work schedules of participants in the St. Louis area. Out-of-town participants may choose to reside on campus and make use of our many libraries and quiet, outdoor areas for writing and reflection.
Each institute is worth 3 units of credit; an application is not required.
