Down-to-earth, inclusive, and affordable, Solstice is one of the most welcoming writers’ conferences in the country. Set on the 60 wooded acres of Pine Manor College’s Chestnut Hill campus, Solstice offers writers an idyllic retreat within easy reach of downtown Boston. Our diverse and award-winning faculty members give individual attention and constructive criticism to writers of poetry, fiction (including short stories and novels), creative nonfiction, and literature for young people. We encourage each participant’s continued creative and professional growth with business-of-writing seminars, panel discussions, readings, and social events.
