YOUNG WRITERS STUDIO Key West Literary Seminar welcomes readers and writers to this subtropical island city. Our flagship program is the annual Seminar , a four-day event that explores a unique literary theme each January, where readers from around the world enjoy presentations by some of the best writers of our time. In our Writers’ Workshop Program , also in January, writers of all levels meet in small groups with esteemed faculty to share their work and explore the craft of writing. A Scholarship Program reduces seminar and workshop fees for teachers and librarians, and recognizes the work of outstanding emerging writers. Our Young Writers Studio provides local high school students with world-class educational experiences and writing instruction each summer, while our year-round Literary Walking Tour offers a ninety-minute stroll through literary Key West. Exclusive recordings from the Seminar over thirty years are available in the Audio Archive , and our online journal, _Littoral_ , features news, essays, photographs, and other resources that document Key West’s richliterary history.
In November, 2019, we acquired the former home of celebrated poet Elizabeth Bishop, at 624 White Street . Our goal is to restore this national treasure and preserve it as it was when Bishop lived here in the 1930s and 1940s. JOIN OUR MAILING LIST * indicates requiredFirst Name
