The Elk River Writers Workshop embodies the idea that deep, communal experiences with the wild open the door to creativity. 

We bring together some of the most celebrated nature writers in the United States with students who are serious about fostering a connection with place in their writing. 

 Faculty lead a small cohort of students through the week in Paradise Valley, Montana.  This year’s faculty include Jamie Ford, Debra Magpie Earling, Sean Hill, Laura Pritchett, and Sean Singer. Join us August 13 – 19, 2023. 

Scholarships available.  

What do we mean by a "diverse writer”? Diversity includes a range of experiences from things like gender, sexual orientation, and race, to religion, abilities, and economic background — anything that lends a different lens through which a writer might view (and therefore respond to) the world.  How much of an offset do you need in order to attend? Applicants may request financial assistance in any amount up to $2,000.

You must submit a workshop application BEFORE applying for a scholarship! 

if you do not receive the scholarship, costs of the workshop will apply.
