Applicants who wish to join the Yetzirah Summer Conference as Contributors should have a deep love of and commitment to poetry and interest in engaging further with its intersections with Jewish culture and tradition. Some record of publication, as well as previous experience attending generative creative writing workshops, is recommended but not required.

As our largest contingent within the on-campus cohort, Contributors play a vital role in creating our community’s culture, as well as in supporting the conference, which is the most significant of Yetzirah’s annual programming expenses. Though we only require that Contributors have some record of publication, the Contributors at both of our prior conferences were largely composed of accomplished writers who’d originally applied as either a Scholar or Fellow.
