For the past ten years I have had the great good fortune of teaching at the Table Rock Workshop, formerly the Duke University Writers Workshop, which is open to anyone who would like to spend five days with a supportive and engaging group of fellow writers at a beautiful mountain retreat. (Classes are available both for beginning and experienced writers.)

I also lead one private workshop a year. I choose a spot I’d like to spend some time in and invite 6-10 students for 4-5 days of intensive classes and writing time. In the past, I’ve held workshops in France, Massachusetts and the North Carolina mountains. Because of the intensive nature of these workshops, I generally take students I have already worked with, either through one-on-one mentoring or in a class; this is not a hard and fast rule, however, and if you would like to apply, please write to dewittclasses@gmail.com and put "Workshops" on the Subject line.
