2021-22 Application Deadline for The Jiménez-Porter Writers’ House

College of Arts and Humanities | English | Jimenez-Porter Writers' House Monday, March 1, 2021 8:00 am - 11:59 pm

The Jiménez-Porter Writers’ House applications for the 2021-2022 academic year are due by March 1st. 

The Jiménez-Porter Writers’ House is a campus-wide literary center for the study of creative writing across cultures and genres. Writers’ House residents live in a close community of 50 to 60 undergraduate students who share an interest in creating stories, poems, and scripts. Students attend colloquia, share their writing with each other in a supportive workshop environment, and attend additional special events together. Writers’ House students organize Litfest, our annual literary bash, every Spring. The program normally takes two-years, although rising seniors may complete the program in one year if they have adequate space in their schedules. All majors and years, as well as transfer students, are encouraged to apply to the program. The program culminates in a capstone project of a self-published chapbook of student work, created in a final class focused on the publication process.

All years and majors are encouraged to apply. For questions, email JPWritershouse@umd.edu.
