Application Information

 

Quote: One of the best things I ever did for myself was to attend the Yale Writers' Conference. I went to Yale with a fair amount of skepticism about how much help I could expect and anxiety about people being condescending. To my delight, I left the conference inspired, exhausted and bursting with ideas and new friends. I have been writing diligently ever since. The best part of all is the community of writers that I have become a part of. The support of this special community has extended beyond the gates of Yale, long after the workshops have ended. I recommend this conference to anyone with a passion for writing.
