Come home this summer and write on the river. The 10th Annual Chesapeake Writers’ Conference takes place June 18-24, 2023, and our excellent faculty will help you tell your story as only you can.
In addition to hosting excellent faculty for intensive genre workshops in Poetry, Fiction, and Creative Non-fiction, we’ll again offer a two-credit Continuing Professional Development (CPD) graduate seminar for teachers of English and language arts. Do you know a high-schooler looking for a one-of-a-kind opportunity this summer? Consider bringing or sending a young writer who might benefit from our popular Youth Workshop, which offers a creatively rigorous experience for teens to deepen their writing practice and engage with other writers their age.
New this year: all SMCM alumni are eligible for a 10% discount on tuition, which is transferable and is good for multiple registrations. We are also giving away a St. Mary’s College of Maryland tote bag for the first 25 registrants. These bags are made of repurposed cotton rescued from a factory floor in India.

You can also email Crystal Oliver, Conference Director, at cdoliver@smcm.edu for more information.
We hope you can return to campus this summer—or recommend the Conference to others, especially if you know a teacher, high-schooler, or writer of any level who would benefit from this excellent experience. Ideally, you can do both.
