Thanks to a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the John Updike Childhood Home museum is pleased to announce that the one-week summer creative writing workshop which will take place at the home at 117 Philadelphia Ave. where a young Updike said his “artistic eggs were hatched,” will be completely free.

The seminar, hosted by John Updike Childhood Home director Dr. Maria Lester. is open to students in grades eight through college. Enrollment is limited to just 20 students, so if you’re interested, don’t wait. The deadline for enrollment is July 1. See below for further details.
