Wondering what the Short Course is?
The Short Course was the first conference on professional writing in the nation. Started in 1938, the course began as a one day public event and over time expanded to five days.
Students could attend the course at a discount and get academic credit for doing so. Many PW students signed their first contracts at the short course.
The course was held annually for 64 years until it passed away in 2002. To see information about the last course, click here.
We are committed to resurrecting the Short Course by late spring/early summer of this year. This year's Short Course will be small one-day affair where students, PW alums, and local writers can get together for workshops on professional writing.
In order to do this, we need your help. Please contact oupwsa@gmail.com to volunteer. Or, come to the next PWSA meeting on Saturday, Feb 24th at 2pm in the PW Lounge.
