The Whidbey Island Writers Association (WIWA), parent organization of the Whidbey Writers Workshop low-residency MFA Program, includes among its values the following: "We value, support, and encourage... writers of all ages, levels of skill, experience, and interests."
In accordance with that value and with WIWA's mission to create and support "an extended community of established and aspiring writers by providing communication, encouragement, and access to professional literary resources," the Workshop invites writers from the general community to participate on a non-credit basis in the Whidbey Writers Workshop MFA residencies. No degrees or certificates are required.
Participation includes workshops, craft classes, and presentations by visiting writers. Two options are available:
- Option A: 9-day residency. Registration fee: $800.00
- Option B: 5-day residency (days 1-5 only). Registration fee: $450.00
- Housing and meal expenses are in addition to the registration fee
A maximum of 6 non-credit participants will be admitted in each genre.
