Welcome

to the Minnesota Northwoods Writers Conference.

“… you are likely to be awakened by the haunting call of the loon or inspired by the grace of the bald eagle.”

APPLICATION DEADLINE EXTENDED: June 15, 2013

Since 2003, writers from all over the United States have gathered in an intimate lakeside setting with award-winning authors and teachers to practice the arts of poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction, and this year we are offering a literary translation workshop as well.
