USM Summer

2013 Stonecoast Writers' Conference

Event Date and Time: 
Sun, 07/21/2013 - 5:00pm - Sat, 07/27/2013 - 1:00pm
Location: 
USM Stone House, located at Wolfe's Neck on Casco Bay, in Freeport, Maine.

Imagine: seven days to live inside the book you want to write; seven days to work and rework your poems; seven days surrounded by people who grapple with sentences, who fall in love with words; seven days to soak in the salt air, to contemplate the waters of Casco Bay.

At the Stonecoast Writers’ Conference students work closely with a distinguished faculty composed of award-winning writers. Our daily talks and evening readings will expand and challenge your understanding of literature. We offer workshops in four genres: poetry, short fiction, novel, and nonfiction/memoir. And, for the first time, this summer we will be offering a mixed-genre bootcamp for those of you who don’t want your writing to be limited to a form.

Whether you have only recently started to commit your ideas to paper, or if you are polishing a manuscript before submitting it for a contest, the Stonecoast Writers’ Conference has something to offer you.
