Mathey College

Mathey College and The Writers Workshop are developing a new working space on the third floor of Blair Tower for creative writers of any literary persuasion.

The Studio will host open free-writing hours, writing supplies, and resources and journals for writers of fiction, poetry, and creative nonfiction.

The Princeton Writers' Workshop was founded in A.Y. 2009-10 to connect students interested in creative writing. In the fall of 2009, hosted private dinners in Mathey and Rockefeller Colleges with young authors who offered their advice on writing and publication. In the spring of 2010, they hosted writers' groups of 5-6 people who meet for dinner in the Mathey College conference room once a week. Each week, a different member of the group emails out a piece of work to be workshopped over dinner. These dinner meetings are similar in style to the Creative Writing Program workshops.

They welcome people who have never tried creative writing before. You can submit anything, including plays, poetry, or short stories.

Two New Gatherings for the Spring of 2012:

The Letter-Writing Club - Mondays at 8:00 p.m., in the T3 Seminar Room (next to the Writers Studio)

Rediscover the art of the handwritten letter!  Help save the post office!  Learn some cool tips that make the handwritten letter an art (i.e. cursive writing, wax seals to close letters, stamps, types of stationary, etc.)
We will have certain causes we will write for each week--for example, we could choose a local nursing home and write letters to the elderly; but you can begin by writing letters to friends and family as well ....  Contact  brea

The Writers' Circle, Fridays, 10:00pm-12:00midnight

Do you wish you had more time to write? Or do you wish you weren't always doing it alone?

Then you should join the new Writers' Circle at the Writers Studio-- a group designed to create the space, time, and community devoted to writing! The idea is to carve out a time from our busy schedules both to meet together and to simply write. Yes, scheduling "when to write" may seem oxymoronic, or perhaps even blasphemous, but if it means writing will be done, then the muse will forgive us. Come and write quietly with other writers or get a chance to informally share things with others. At the very least, you'll have the chance to make some new writer friends!

If you're interested in joining the Circle,  Email Bryan Pannill -- or just show up!
