Thanks to the generosity of Tennessee Williams and the Walter E. Dakin Memorial Fund, the Sewanee Writers’ Conference offers workshops in fiction, poetry, nonfiction, and playwriting. The Conference invites talented writers to come to Sewanee each July and learn from each other in a welcoming and supportive environment. In addition to workshops led by two faculty members, the program includes numerous readings, open mics, craft lectures, and master classes taught by faculty and fellows. Visiting editors, agents, and theater professionals also meet with participants and teach master classes as well.
