In addition to the academic year graduate program in Writing, Sarah Lawrence College offers two programs for non-matriculants, in which Graduate Writing students are eligible to participate.

The Summer Writers Seminar for Adults

Recent faculty have included fiction writers Mary Morris, Mary LaChapelle and Paul Lisicky; poets Laure-Anne Bosselaar, Stuart Dischell, Stephen Dobyns, Ellen Bryant Voigt and Thomas Lux; and nonfiction writers Ted Conover and Vivian Gornick. Past Seminar faculty have included: Wesley Brown, Valerie Martin, Deborah Digges and Jane Bernstein, among others. For more information, contact the Office of College Events at (914) 395-2411.

Note: If you are a currently enrolled writing student, you may earn one hour of graduate or undergraduate credit at an additional cost. These week-long intensive workshop/seminars in poetry, fiction and creative nonfiction consist of six two-and-a-half-hour workshops/seminars and two hour-long conferences.

The Summer Writers Workshop for High School Students

A unique collaboration between the writing and theatre programs, the workshop gives high school students an opportunity to experience writing in a non-competitive, non-judgmental environment that values risk and adventure. Sarah Lawrence faculty direct the program. Graduate writing students lead workshops. For more information, contact the Office of College Events at (914) 395-2411.

Note: No graduate credit is given for participation in this program.
