Writing & Reverence

The Cypress Writers’ Workshop is a creative writing program supporting writers who seek to master their craft and cultivate the unity between art and reverence.

We are working to preserve and advance the cultural tradition of writing, to offer models of excellence through literary art to people of all backgrounds, making widely available the wisdom and vision required of a responsible people.  

Our Work

We seek to expand the context of serious training in creative writing beyond the university and self-serving competition, returning literary art to local initiative, apprenticeship, and one’s needful responsibilities and obligations. 

Cypress Fellowship

The Cypress Fellowship is a creative writing program for emerging storytellers. Fellows are afforded the opportunity to spend two years refining their work in community under the guidance of skilled writers. Though similar to a low-residency Master of Fine Arts in creative writing, the program offers no degree.

• 2 years of work in community under the guidance of experienced writers

• 4 terms of writing, reading, and instruction

• 4 writing residencies
