Lighthouse welcomes literary types of all levels to participate in our programs designed to support writers as they explore new genres and projects, hone their craft, and learn from our expert faculty. Every person has a story to tell, and we want to help you tell yours!

Workshops
Our workshops cover a variety of topics, so we’ve got you covered whether you are just starting out or if you have a specific writing question. Some classes are offered every season, and others cater to particular needs. We offer workshops focusing on learning tools for writing habits, generating words on the page, and soliciting feedback from faculty and peers.

Fests
Our weekend Fests are sprinkled throughout the year, offering one-day workshops, panel discussions, and events. Are you hoping to focus on poetry, or love stories, or essays? Fests provide customization to the topic or genre you need.

Retreats
Do you need to create dedicated time to write and block out everything out until you get some words on the page? Retreats offer that space for you to do nothing but focus on your craft in idyllic locations.

Events
Our events are exciting opportunities to connect with the Lighthouse community and develop relationships with other writers. Come for readings, discussions, or share your own work with the community!

Financial Assistance
We never want cost to keep you away from workshops, events, and more at Lighthouse. Some options we can provide to alleviate financial stress are payment plans, tuition assistance, and fellowships. Explore all these programs and find one that is right for you.
