beach

Imagine….an opportunity to immerse yourself in your work while in the company of other serious writers. Then imagine this taking place on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean in Southampton, Long Island. Mornings you’ll meet in intimate, intensive workshop sessions led by a distinguished author. Afternoons and evenings you’ll choose from readings, lectures, panels and discussions given by world-class novelists, essayists, editors, poets and children’s book authors. And then there’s the beach….

It’s all part of Stony Brook Southampton’s MFA in Creative Writing and Literature.

Come on in. The water’s fine.
