Writing is at the heart of our Wintering program. You don't have to be an expert writer to sign up; you just need a felt desire to write. We'll experiment with a range of genres and workshop models. Tell us a bit about your relationship to writing and how you hope to cultivate that relationship during your time in Maine.
