Mountain Writers Series

Columbia River Gorge Writers Conference

June 15 - 19, 2011

Plan now for the summer 2011 conference to work with nationally recognized poets, fiction writers, non-fiction writers, screenwriters and editors in this breathtaking setting in the Columbia Gorge. While here, take time to snow ski or snow board (yes, even in the spring and summer) on nearby Mt. Hood or windsurf on the Columbia. Recreational activities abound including world-class trout fishing on the Deschutes River or wine tasting at one of the region's many award-winning wineries. The natural beauty of the Gorge is sure to inspire you and your writing, so plan on extending your stay and your writing.

Watch our website for your enrollment invitation to join Mountain Writers Series for five days of intense writing in Hood River, Oregon. Experience readings and workshops with award-winning poets and prose writers, as well as special sessions on editing and publishing. Among the writers scheduled to appear in June 2011 are David Axelrod, John Daniel, Barbara Drake and Vern Rutsala.
