The Martha’s Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing was founded to enrich the lives of writers by fostering creativity, community, and craft among established authors and poets. Our goal is to make the writing program experience a personal one that aides in building a writing community through friendships and artistic connections with other writers. The Institute is also committed to enhancing the literary landscape of Martha’s Vineyard for residents and visitors through our public reading series, writing seminars, and annual Summer Writers’ Conference.
