Mission Statement
The Martha’s Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing is committed to nurturing the next generation of poets and writers through financial and educational support. Since 2010, MVICW has provided week-long summer writing seminars for writers from around the world. MVICW is committed to making our program possible for all writers, and we provide a wide variety of Full and Partial Fellowships to Writers of Color, Parent-Writers, Queer Writers, educators and students. Since our founding, MVICW has awarded over $100,000 in fellowships to writers facing financial difficulties. Every year, we bring award-winning poetry and fiction faculty to Martha’s Vineyard to work with our attendees, leading craft seminars, conducting one-on-one editing sessions, and providing evening readings in venues that are free and open to the public. Through our summer writing conference, MVICW serves as an educational and inspirational resource for writers of varying ages and experiences, helping them gain the skills, guidance, and community needed to hone their craft and publish their work.
About This Cause
The Martha’s Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing was founded in order to give writers the opportunity to develop their craft among established authors on the island of Martha's Vineyard. The Institute offers a comprehensive week-long focus on writing, providing writers with the necessary time to devote to their art, in the idyllic setting of the Vineyard. Each summer, we invite award-winning authors and poets, literary journal editors, and university creative writing faculty from around the country to lead writing workshops, work one-on-one with individuals, and provide the necessary tips and tools for editing and publishing. Our goal is to make the writing program experience a personal one that aids in building a writing community, establishing friendships with other writers, and offering contacts in the industry.

To achieve our goal of making MVICW's programming possible for all writers, we provide a wide variety of Full and Partial Fellowships. Since our founding, MVICW has awarded over one hundred fellowships to writers facing financial difficulties. 100% of donations received by MVICW go directly to funding fellowship opportunities for writers facing financial hardships. We are incredibly proud of our attendees’ literary accomplishments. Our attendees have published books of poetry and fiction, won national literary awards, and gained successful entry to MFA programs in Creative Writing. Recent MVICW Fellowship recipients have had their poetry and fiction featured in national literary journals and have successfully published novels, memoirs, and poetry collections. In all of these cases, our attendees have credited the financial support of the MVICW Fellowship Program in helping them achieve their successes. We are very happy that we are meeting our mission so successfully, and we plan to continue long into the future.
