Writer's Block

 The Writer’s Block, located at 156 High Street, is a small residential community for both first year and upperclass students interested in writing, whatever the form, and living with other writers. Residents have the opportunity to enjoy Wesleyan’s writing events and host their own discussions with faculty and writing fellows. The programming opportunities include student readings, open mics, book swaps, tutorials, reading circles and guest lectures, many linked to the University’s Distinguished Writers series. New writers are linked to more experienced ones, and to a network of Wesleyan authors, editors, and publishers, both on and off campus.

For more information about these residences, visit the Writer's Block website or Residential Life.

Over the years, other houses and halls have fostered community for writers on campus. Below are some photos of events and buildings from days gone by.
