Requests for Proposals (RFPs)
Ludington Writers occasionally hosts workshops and retreats. Workshops are run by published authors from outside of the Ludington area. Special consideration for the residencies are given to graduate students finishing a degree in creative writing. During this short summer residency, authors typically lead a workshop (requiring registration) and formal presentation (open to the public).
In response to COVID-19 restrictions on public gatherings, and in the interest of continuing our support of writers, we would like to support virtual live literary events.
If you are interested proposing a workshop, please contact us at WestShoreWords@gmail.com with “LW Workshop Proposal” in the subject line.
