Outreach
The Frostburg Center for Creative Writing offers a variety
of outreach opportunities for students and lovers of literature for all
ages. Obviously, radio programs and public readings are some of the ways
the Frostburg Center promotes the literary arts, but we also provide community
access to literature and creative writing in other ways.
Open Mic Nights
Open mic nights, put on in part by FSU's own 3 AM Society, are a chance
for anyone to share poetry or short prose with the community. Anyone is
invited to attend these free events, all of which occur at local libraries.
Western Maryland Small
and Regional Press Publish Fair
In conjunction with the Allegany County Library
System, the Center sponsors this day-long festival of local publishers
and local writers in Downtown Cumberland.
Savage
Mountain Creative Writing Workshop
The Savage Mountain Creative Writing Workshop is a week long,
commuter program for local high school sophomores, juniors and seniors
to study poetry, fiction or creative nonfiction writing with published
writers.
The Nightsun
Summer Writer's Conference
The first Nightsun Summer Writers Conference will be held Thursday,
July 29, through Sunday, August 1. The workshop is designed to generate
new material and publications, and to hone the craft of creative writing.
There will be workshops held for all genres including poetry, fiction
and nonfiction.
