Workshops

In addition to the flagship Writers Workshop at Chautauqua, the Highlights Foundation holds various thematic Founders Workshops throughout the year.

Reach your writing goals!

Our targeted workshops allow you to choose the topic that exactly meets your writing needs. From sports to nature, from magazines to books, from fiction to nonfiction, and from picture books to young-adult novels—Founders Workshops give you access to publishing professionals known for their ability to help writers reach their goals.

Whether you want to spend a long weekend immersed in a topic, retreat for a week to finish your novel, or dive into an intense week-long retreat guided by award-winning authors, we have the perfect workshop for you.

Founders workshops pamper writers with airport pickup service; cozy, individual cabins; a top-notch chef; and an intimate teaching setting at the homeplace of the Founders of Highlights for Children.
