FOR JUST BUFFALO MEMBERS


The Chautauqua Writers' Festival is a four day event at the beautiful Chautauqua Institution.  This year it takes place Thursday, June 17-Sunday, June 20.  We bring six nationally-recognized writers  (two fiction writers, two nonfiction writers, two poets).  Participants work in small-sized (12  students maximum) workshop settings with a writer in their genre; there are two hours of workshops each day of the festival.  The festival also offers one-on-one conferences with your workshop leader, panel discussions (on genre issues, publishing and other topics), open-mics, writing time, and music. 

For our upcoming festival we are offering a special discount for members connected to a writing organization (like Just Buffalo):  $100 off tuition for up to two writers belonging to the group; if three or more from the group register, the discount is $150.

We still have spaces remaining in NONFICTION and POETRY. For more information on this year's writers and registration, please visit our website at:  http://writers.ciweb.org/writers-festival/  You can also call Philip Terman at (814) 786-7270 with any questions.
