Coronavirus Update
Due to curricular changes in response to COVID-19, the Summer Writers Colony, a three-week intensive program featuring writing workshops, literary salons, craft sessions and publishing talks, has been suspended.
In lieu of an on-campus offering, we are offering Summer Online Writing Immersion workshops in fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, available for three credits or at the noncredit level. Matriculated New School students can view a list of credit offerings
in the University Course Catalog. You can view
noncredit offerings or
credit offerings for non-matriculated students via our Continuing and Professional Education website. For guidance on which credit option or class is best for you, please write to Laura Cronk at [email protected].
