New York Writers Workshop
Returns to Sardinia
August 13-20, 2026
This August, New York Writers Workshop returns to Sardinia to initiate a partnership with the Deledda Master in Creative Writing & Translation, a dynamic new low-residency program based in Oristano and featuring a stellar international faculty. We're deeply honored by this partnership.
Going forward, New York Writers Workshop will hold annual summer sessions at the Deledda Instituto, home of the Deledda Master in Creative Writing & Translation.
As home base for the summer sessions, Sardinia provides the nucleus for an intersection of Mediterranean and European languages, literary traditions, and creative practices with the English-speaking world.
Summer Immersion, 2026
Date: August 13 - August 20, 2026
The Cost : Option 1: $1,850
Option 2: $1,050
Option 1: The Convent (Deledda Instituto)— At the convent where the program is based, we have seven single rooms, five bathrooms (no ensuite). There will be some sharing of showers and toilets. The convent rooms have been fully renovated. Italian breakfast (pastries, muesli, fresh fruit, coffee, and juices) is included each morning. Linens and towels provided, common areas cleaned regularly. And because we'll be holding our workshop sessions here as well, you'll be steps away from the heart of the program.
Option 2: If you prefer an ensuite bathroom and a bit more privacy, Oristano has numerous charming local B&Bs very close by, and we're happy to point you toward some options. Should you select this option, we ask that you pay for your lodging directly so that you have full control over your accommodation experience, as we can't take responsibility for individual bookings.
