Lesley University Writers' Conference

Sunday, July 27–Friday, August 1, 2008

Join us on America’s most fertile literary ground.

Come to Cambridge, Massachusetts, where writers such as Robert Frost, Louise Glück, Henry James, Lois Lowry, Derek Walcott, Susanna Kaysen, Robert Pinsky, and countless others have found the inspiration and conversation critical to successful writing. Lesley’s conference will provide rich stimulation for anyone interested in fiction, nonfiction, children’s book writing, or poetry.

The Writers' Conference is sponsored by Lesley's MFA in Creative Writing program and the Lesley Seminars.

Here's what participants said about the 2007 Conference:

"I felt that I was part of something important. More important, I felt supported by the learning/teaching community at Lesley."

"I've had my motivation and inspiration reawakened."

"Workshop was one of the best, if not the best, in which I've ever been."

"I was very impressed with the quality of the conference: instructors were excellent writers and speakers. Lectures were thought-provoking and instructive. The conference exceeded my expectations."
