2019 Registration Forms Will Be Available Here In October, 2019

The 2019 Lighthouse Writers’ Conference & Retreat will be held from Friday, February 15, through Monday, February 18, at Goddard College's Port Townsend, Washington, program site.  Registration forms for the 2019 LWC&R will be available here in October 2018.  Please note that this Conference & Retreat is capped at 15 participants and that registrations are accepted on a first-come, first serve basis.

What to Expect at the Lighthouse Conference & Retreat

At the Lighthouse Writers Conference and Retreat (LWC&R), you'll be able to revitalize your own work amid the richness of Goddard’s Port Townsend writing community at Fort Worden, while developing strong connections with fellow alumni and Goddard writers.
 
Come connect with writing colleagues, and with your own writing self in familiar and generative Port Townsend! Our conference will focus on writing and literature, and on sustaining the writing process. We will immerse ourselves in new writing practices that echo our Goddard residency experience.
 
Preliminary highlights:

• Opening panel with LWC&R returning participants
  
• Writing retreat opportunities, both individual and community-based
  
• MFAW alumni-presented workshops on craft, master study, and experimental writing techniques
• Readings by MFAW faculty and the Goddard visiting writer, and participation in the visiting writer workshop
• A presentation of this year's volume of CLOCKHOUSE, the national literary journal published by the CWC Alumni Association in partnership with Goddard College.
• A MFAW alumni-hosted reception
• An alumni-organized evening salon

 
Registration information and forms will be available here in October, 2018.  Participants will choose their own arrangements for meals and housing.
 
If you're an MFAW alum of either Goddard's MFAW program in Port Townsend, Washington, or Plainfield, Vermont, we hope you’ll join us!
