The following classes are now closed, with waiting lists started: the workshops of Chris Abani, Dana Levin, Ana Menéndez, and Martín Espada.

Newly added poet Erin Belieu continues to see almost unprecedented demand, and is filling rapidly. Learn more about her poetry workshop here!

The nonfiction workshop of Denise Chávez now has four spaces open. Other morning workshop faculty members include nonfiction writer Bich Minh Nguyen (leading a master class) and fiction writer Peter Orner, a Conference favorite. And the Residency-Only option (for those looking for a retreat to create, revise, or finish creative work) continues to set all kinds of enrollment records. Registration for all Conference workshops is available here, as well as by calling Centrum at 360.385.3102, x131. 

Finally, for those writers looking not for a full week experience but a weekend intensive in creative nonfiction, we have a June 4-5 creative nonfiction workshop for nascent, emerging, and established writers. This class is a reprise of our sold-out February 4-7 workshop and is over half-full.
