Montreat Creative Writing Festival

Plan to join us Friday, May 18, 2012!

We're excited about Creative Writing here at Montreat College. The Montreat Creative Writing Festival has been a great success the past three years, and we've planned another day of workshops and featured speakers all geared to get high school students and educators excited about writing. Take a workshop in your favorite genre, or try out a new genre. Meet and ask questions of published authors. Get inspired by our beautiful campus. Attend an editing session with a writing expert. Read your work as the open mic!  This day is all about young people in our community geared and ready to write! 

Cost: $15.00 per student participant (includes all workshops and luncheon); Participation is free for administrators and educators. Please let us know you're coming at kangle@montreat.edu.

Also, enter our Creative Writing Contest in Fiction and Poetry--we've given away thousands of Montreat Scholarship Dollars over the past three years--submit 5 pages of fiction or poetry by April 30th, 2012.
