Do you write short fiction, personal essays, or poetry? It does not matter. The important question is - What's In Your Writing Folder?

Come spend one week writing at the John C. Campbell Folk School, the specific week of September 13-18, 2009

CLASS DESCRIPTION: Pull out your writing folder, whether filled with stories, poems, essays or almost empty, and come write what you want. This class will trigger new writing and will keep you on track and moving toward the finish. Get encouraging feedback from your instructor and classmates. How and where to publish will also be discussed. All levels welcome.

The class begins on Sunday and ends at noon on Friday.


Come write in our new writing studio. The typewriter is only a decoration. Each student has a writing station with computer and printer access. The focus of the class will be on short story, personal essay and poetry. There will be class time and private time for you to write. There will be time to share your writing with others. The class will give a reading for the school at the end of the week.
