Writer's Week

Idyllwild Arts has long been a gathering place for some of the world’s finest poets and writers, among them Natalie Diaz, Ben Lerner, Victoria Chang, Ed Skoog, Terrance Hayes, Dana Levin, Willie Perdomo, Angela Morales, Allison Hedge Coke, and many others. This beloved annual celebration of the written word brings writers from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences to work with talented and award-winning faculty in Poetry, Fiction, Creative Nonfiction, Environmental Writing, and Screenwriting. Participants will refine their work, learn new craft techniques, generate new ideas, and continue to grow their practice as they participate in workshops, attend craft talks, readings, and build community with other writers. The experience culminates in a final reading.
