Registration is now open for the second annual Chesapeake Writers’ Conference at St. Mary’s College of Maryland, which will be held June 23-29.
Writers at all levels will gather on Maryland’s beautiful Western shore for a week of workshops, lectures, panel discussions, and readings, as well as daily workshops in fiction, poetry, or creative nonfiction led by exemplary faculty.
Also being held in conjunction with the conference (June 23-29) will be a special workshop for high school-aged writers. The inaugural Chesapeake Youth Writers’ Workshop will offer a unique experience for those interested in the graphic novel. Youth writers will study the art and craft of graphic storytelling, focusing on creating stories with words and pictures.
At their leisure, participants will also be able to experience the bounty of summertime Southern Maryland as they enjoy concerts, kayaking, day-tripping to nearby parks, and much more. Lodging will be provided on the St. Mary’s College campus.
Applications for the Chesapeake Writers’ Conference, as well as the Chesapeake Youth Writers’ Workshop, are accepted on a rolling basis; however, space is limited. More information can be found online or by contacting conference organizers at [email protected].
