International Multilingual Creative Writing Conference: New York —Extended Submission Deadline: September 15th—

The International Multilingual Creative Writing Conference is a platform to celebrate the rich diversity of human experience across cultures and a unique opportunity to foster intercultural collaboration with artists, editors, media outlets, and publishers. As a discipline in its own right, creative writing programs are now present across the Americas and Europe. Universities, NGOs, private groups, and individual practitioners contributed to this growth. However, a multilingual approach is critical to unlocking the potential of intercultural cross-pollination and collaboration between practitioners with diverse cultural backgrounds. 

The City College of New York—Division of Interdisciplinary Studies—, The Americas Poetry Festival of New York, Universidad de La Rioja, and Proyecto Valle de la Lengua join forces to organize this conference.   

Please note that all proposals will be peer-reviewed and are due by August 15, 2024. 

Conference presenters are expected to pay conference
registration fees of $150 (Regular) $75 (Students with ID), and make their own hotel accommodations.

If you have any questions or require further clarification, please feel free to email caguasaco@ccny.cuny.edu
