Join us in the rarefied air of magical New Mexico for the Writers Lab. Be fully present for a unique educational experience—led by some of the world’s most accomplished writers—that is bound to change your life as a writer and as a person.
In Writers Lab workshops we hold values of craft, community, and the creative process in the highest regard. With our collaborative and affirming environments, a passion for writing and storytelling—and a hunger for shared experiences—are the most important ingredients.
Our private campus in Santa Fe has long been a sanctuary for learning and study. We share this enchanted place with a neighboring Carmelite Monastery. Dramatic views of the surrounding Jemez and Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges, warm sunshine, cool mountain air, beautiful courtyards, access to hiking trails, convenient on-campus lodging—and a private caterer to provide fresh, healthy meals—are the elements that converge to make this the perfect place for you to find inspiration and hone your craft. For details about staying on-campus visit our Santa Fe Accommodations page.
Santa Fe Writers Lab provides you with a hub of creativity and community, extraordinary instructors, supportive staff, and the opportunity to take off, and take your writing to the next level
Travel transforms us. When we journey out we uncover mysteries within. A change of setting in a new destination has the power to take your writing in new directions.
