CLOCKHOUSE WRITERS' CONFERENCE

Welcome

Founded in 1997, Clockhouse Writers' Conference is the alumni association of Goddard College's MFAW program. CWC seeks to support MFAW alums as they continue the writing practice they established at Goddard and have since brought to the world at large. Just as importantly, CWC also seeks to support the MFAW program and its students. We hold an annual summer Conference & Retreat on Goddard's Plainfield, Vermont, campus, and a winter one at Goddard's Port Townsend, Washington, program site. CWC also publishes the national literary journal Clockhouse in partnership with the college and with a nationally-dispersed but closely-working staff of MFAW alums. See what we're about here and on the Friday postings of the Writer in the World blog, and sign up if you'd like to get timely Conference & Retreat information and otherwise be kept in the loop.
