Creative Writing

Summer Intensive Writing Program in Taos, New Mexico

 

Taos Summer Writing, July 12-17, 2011. Six days to cross gaps, connect dots and embrace another level of creativity and productivity.

 

Come to SMU-in-Taos this July to immerse in your creative nature. Explore the stories within you. Give yourself the time and space to experience the reality you are creating in your writing. Experience concentrated writing time, small class sizes, and individual guidance through one of these intensive, six-day courses:

 

  • All Tracks: Chapters
    Give yourself full days to write and evenings to mingle with your allies and hear reviews of your work, in this fulfillment of the All Tracks: Chapters requirement.

  • All Tracks: Revision
    This final "story" course helps you deepen what you've created while giving insight to what still needs to be done.

  • Advanced Workshop with BK Loren
    Get Lost: Finding Your Way Through Fiction Without Formula

    So you've finished your first novel and are ready to move on. Now is the time to explore what you learned and enhance it with your own best writing tendencies that will take your new book (or your revision of your first book) to its next level. Open to alumni of the SMU Writer’s Program in New York.
