What type of writing styles will I be able to work on?

The reality is that the ratio of folks most interested in prose to those most interested in poetry is roughly six to one. We have to accommodate that fact by conceiving one of the two workshops as "multi-genre." But the fact is that our classroom mentors almost all began as poets, were trained, if you will, as composers of verse and segued into prose.

Do you provide accommodation?

We do not provide accommodation, but we do assist in securing affordable housing in dorms near the program venues or in private accommodations.

Will I have time to travel on the weekends?

Yes! Many students have done so in the past or even taken a day or two off during the weekday. In general, Fridays through Sundays are free for you to spend as you like, although we do provide non-mandatory excursions and office hours at this time.

The Prague Summer Program for Writers is a three-week, family-run writing residency in Prague, Czech Republic, with a legacy dating back to the Velvet Revolution. It offers writers the time and space to create while immersing themselves in one of Europe’s most beautiful and historically rich cities. Participants take part in weekly workshops, private conferences, literary readings, special lectures, and guided walking tours exploring Prague’s deep literary and cultural history. The program embraces the spirit of the Prague Spring—a brief but transformative cultural awakening in 1968 that championed artistic freedom and intellectual exchange. Creative writing, as an academic field, shares this ethos of radical egalitarianism, and the Prague Summer Program continues to foster that tradition...
