About IUWC

The IUWC will meet the summer of 2008 from Sunday, June 8 through Friday, June 13. All conference activities take place on the Bloomington campus of Indiana University.

Every year, the IUWC offers both classes and workshops, as well as the chance to attend panel discussions, talks and readings by the faculty. Our workshops foster close working relationships between teachers and workshop participants, ensuring that conferees receive extensive advice and encouragement. Each workshop meets for two hours, Monday through Thursday, with shorter meetings on Sunday and Friday.

We also offer a range of classes for the beginner to the working writer. Classes in poetry, fiction, and literary publishing meet for 50 minutes, Monday through Thursday, and are open to anyone attending the conference. The classes will offer insight into the craft of writing, as well as exercises designed to stimulate new writing. You do not submit a manuscript for admission with this option.
