I am proud that my application was accepted to attend the 47th annual Appalachian Writers’ Workshop at the Hindman Settlement School.
The annual Appalachian Writers’ Workshop is a week-long residency offering aspiring and published writers the opportunity to learn alongside one another in a supportive environment guided by the region’s unique tradition.
The Workshop provides an opportunity to study craft in structured workshops, attend special topic sessions, and enjoy captivating readings by our award-winning faculty. This historic gathering is known for providing rigorous instruction in a family-like atmosphere, where writers of place come together at the banks of Troublesome to meet a year-round community.
Some of the best Appalachian writers that I know have attended Hindman, and I am hopeful of taking my place among them.
