FRIENDS OF WRITERS'
CENTER
The Writers'
Center at Chautauqua offers a wonderful opportunity for writers
of all experience levels to participate in workshops taught by
highly qualified, published authors. These workshops are in keeping
with the Chautauqua Institution's historical support of the literary
arts.
Writers' Center
Friends is an organization of people who appreciate and support
the literary arts, whether they are writers or readers. Throughout
the Chautauqua summer season WCF provides social and intellectual
events that bring together those who enjoy prose, poetry, and
non-fiction of all types. The WCF is also instrumental in supporting
the Chautauqua Literary Journal, a nationally recognized publication
whose contributors have been honored in many ways, including
the prestigious Pushcart Prize.
