33rd Summer Fishtrap Gathering of Writers: Courage

July 6-12, 2020

“You cannot swim for new horizons until you have courage to lose sight of the shore.”
– William Faulkner

Summer Fishtrap Goes Virtual

Fishtrap is excited to announce that for the first time in its 33-year history, the Summer Fishtrap Gathering of Writers will be held online as a Virtual Weeklong Writing Conference. Using this year’s theme, Courage, as our inspiration, we are working with the Summer Fishtrap faculty, our partners at Eastern Oregon University, and our local community to bring as much of the Summer Fishtrap experience to your home.

Be courageous! Join us for the 33rd Summer Fishtrap Gathering of Writers

Take a weeklong writing workshop via live video conferencing in fiction, nonfiction, essay, short story, or poetry. Each workshop will be limited to no more than 13 participants, giving you the opportunity to build connections with your fellow writers and world-class instructor. Throughout the week, we’ll bring the best of Summer Fishtrap to you through online craft talks, discussions, readings, and access to exclusive videos.

Registration is now closed. Tickets are available for the Summer Fishtrap keynote with Craig Childs. Click here to save your spot!
