The Clark College Writing Workshop is an annual creative writing festival that takes place spring quarter every year. It is comprised of author readings and writing workshops and invites Clark students and the Vancouver and surrounding communities to come together to celebrate writing and practice craft. Workshop facilitators include renowned writers as well as Clark faculty. 

The 2024 Writing Workshop will take place on May 11th, 2024, in the Penguin Union Building (PUB). The list of 2024 workshop faculty and registration information can be found below. Please stay tuned for the complete schedule and workshop descriptions. For more information, please email creativewriting@clark.edu.

Registration Information

All writers from beginning to advanced are welcome to attend, and we also welcome area high school writers. Admission is free, but so we have an accurate number of attendees, we are asking that you register in advance. Lunch is free for all attendees, and there will be meat, plant-based, and gluten-free options, as well as coffee and pastries in the morning. Participants are welcome to attend the full day of readings and workshops, or as much as their schedules allow.
