The CREATIVE WRITE-A-THON is an biennial fundraiser providing students, faculty,
and community members an inspiring all-day marathon of writing and creativity. With a
minimum of $50 in pledges, participants receive inspirational and practical creative
writing prompts from working writers in the four genres: fiction, poetry, creative
nonfiction, and drama. Raffles, contests, prizes and surprises throughout the day keep
participants inventive and involved in the spirit of a writers community. Proceeds from
the event are used exclusively for creative writing and literary events at Grossmont
College, including the hugely popular annual Literary Arts Festival. The festival is
always free and open to the public, and past keynote speakers have included such
literary luminaries as Dorothy Allison, Matt de la Peña, Jimmy Santiago Baca, Marge
Piercy, Anthony Swofford, Nick Flynn, Marilyn Chin, Victor Villaseñor, Kim Addonizio,
and Steve Kowit.
