Invitation to Wally Camp Readings

This year Wally Camp will brim with 51 intrepid writers gathering to write, teach, read, and commune on the lovely campus of Mt. Holyoke College, Emily Dickinson’s old stomping ground. If you’re not able to attend, you can still take part in three exciting ways: viewing the evening readings on Zoom, viewing a tribute to Ellen on July 16, and contributing auction items.

ABOUT US

Our mission is to foster vital literary voices and initiatives.

Our vision is a world in which literary community is vibrant, inclusive, and well-supported. We do this by soliciting, managing, and disbursing funds to support writers as they seek and fulfill their potential through graduate study and beyond. FOW values rigorous writing programs and projects that encourage the development of the individual’s finest work, and also values the diversity—in aesthetic, ethnicity, gender, age, occupational, geographic, and economic background—that will ensure American writing reflects the entire nation.

We launch and support activities and infrastructure designed to ensure that our diverse community of poets and fiction writers continue to flourish.
