GREENVILLE—The North Carolina Writers' Network 2019 Squire Summer Writing Workshops run Thursday-Sunday, July 18-21, on the campus of East Carolina University in Greenville.
The deadline to register is Wednesday, July 3, by midnight!
The Squire Summer Writing Workshops offer an intensive course in a chosen genre (fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry), with ten ninety-minute sessions over the four days of the program. Space in each workshop is limited, so that registrants can work in-depth on their own manuscript samples, as well as their colleagues’, while also studying the principles of the genre with their instructor.
This year's instructors are Alex Albright (Creative Nonfiction); Emily Colin (Fiction); and Dr. Lenard D. Moore (Poetry).
Other features include faculty readings, panel discussions, and open mic sessions—and training sessions—for registrants.
"I have been away from writing for a long time," said a recent attendee. "This weekend was about determining whether or not writing was something I could begin again. As a result of the quality of the instruction, the quality and insightfulness of my fellow students, both my writing and my critical skills have grown and I am committed to writing again. As a result of this residency, I want to be the best writer I can be."
Each registrant should be ready to handle the intensive instruction and atmosphere of the workshop.
Space is limited.
Past Attendees Agree: You Should Join Us this Summer in Greenville!

GREENVILLE—By now, you've heard—no doubt more than once—many of the reasons not to miss the NCWN 2019 Squire Summer Writing Workshops, July 18-21, at East Carolina University in Greenville.
The faculty, for one: Alex Albright (Creative Nonfiction); Emily Colin (Fiction); and Lenard D. Moore (Poetry). There also will be the opportunity for open mic readings; faculty readings; panel dicussions; and to study one genre with one instructor in a small-group setting over the course of a long weekend, which builds deep community ties.
If you're sold, you can register here.
If not, here are some testimonials from past participants. So, don't just take our word for it:
"(I) needed a jump start for my writing soul. This time provided that jump start. The community building was the greatest thing."
"We had a wonderful, supportive, knowledge-filled (workshop) group. I have several special memories. The support and outpouring of writing suggestions from my workshop group will stay foremost in my mind. The exposure to the various writers from so many different paths, converging into this writing community, surpassed my expectations."
"I needed writer friends. I have them now. They will be with me beyond this residency. I realize that is why I am here."
"I felt like I got an MFA in fiction in three days."
"I've been to several larger conferences and workshops . . . they were nowhere near as good as the Squire Residency!"
"I have been away from writing for a long time. This weekend was about determining whether or not writing was something I could begin again. As a result of the quality of the instruction, the quality and insightfulness of my fellow students, both my writing and my critical skills have grown and I am committed to writing again. As a result of this residency, I want to be the best writer I can be."
