About the magazine

Lighthouse Writers Workshop, founded in 1997 in Denver, Colorado, emerged from a grassroots desire to create a literary hub where writers of all levels could find rigorous instruction, a supportive community, and the time and space to develop their craft. Its founding ethos is rooted in the belief that writing is a craft that can be taught and that a vibrant literary culture requires both serious study and generous fellowship. Over two decades, Lighthouse has grown into a nationally recognized center for creative writing, offering workshops, seminars, retreats, and public events that emphasize process, revision, and the writer's ongoing development. Core to its mission is inclusivity: programs like the Young Authors Collective and the Veterans Writing Workshop extend its reach to diverse voices, ensuring that literary opportunity is not limited by age, background, or experience.

Lighthouse offers a range of opportunities, from open-enrollment workshops to competitive programs like the Young Authors Collective and the Emerging Writers Fellowship. For competitive programs, applicants should submit polished work that demonstrates a clear understanding of craft and a willingness to engage in revision. The selection process values voice, originality, and commitment to the writing life over credentials. It is advisable to read the specific guidelines carefully, as each program has distinct requirements and deadlines. For general workshops, registration is typically first-come, first-served, but early enrollment is recommended for popular courses. Lighthouse encourages writers at all stages to apply, and financial aid is available for many programs.
