Creative Writing Book
Interlochen is located in northern Michigan, where generations of writers have found inspiration on our scenic, lakefront campus. The creative writing department is located in The Writing House, which is a sunny, comfortable building uniquely designed for the study and practice of writing. Because Interlochen offers summer programs in a number of art forms, creative writing students have the opportunity to enjoy and be inspired by numerous presentations in music, dance, film, theatre, and visual arts, by fellow students, faculty, and renowned guest artists.

Writing is hard. Not for everyone, mind you, but there are some people that land triple axels or swallow swords, and we don’t consider this the norm. Thankfully, these gifted writers have shared their secrets—often the same secret, that their best words weren’t a gift at all, but the fruits of frustrating, wearisome work. We treasure these following tomes, not because they necessarily reveal the tricks to making writing easier, but because they assure us that just because it’s difficult doesn’t mean we should give up. If you write, we’re assuming you’re already armed with style guides like the enduring Strunk & White classic, The Elements of Style, along with your AP Stylebook or Chicago Manual of Style. And that you have examples of great writing like Life Stories: Profiles from The New Yorker.
