A La Carte Registration Deadline July 8

The Full Week registration deadline has passed, but the registration deadline for A La Carte Options is July 8. There's still time to get in on the summer workshop action!

Antioch Writers' Workshop's A La Carte Options (all held at Antioch University Midwest in Yellow Springs, Ohio), are designed for writers who are testing the writing waters, writers who are looking for a quick dose of inspiration, writers who don't have a full week available to attend the full conference, or writers who want to try a portion of the workshop before committing to attending for the full week in a future year.

A La Carte options include the Saturday Seminar , Morning Only Classes, and the Afternoon "Getting Started" Seminar.

These options go fast! Learn more about our A La Carte options on our A La Carte program page, or register on our  A La Carte registration page.
