Partners

Why is the Winter Getaway seeking partners?

We love our writers and work hard to keep registration fees as low as possible.

The cost of producing an event like the Winter Getaway is substantial. Other writing conferences have financial backing from large endowments; the Winter Getaway, however, is entirely participant-funded. This means that participant registration fees are the only funds we receive to pay for all expenses.

Unlike other arts organizations that are funded by their parent university, Murphy Writing does not receive funds from Stockton to pay for its programming or operations.

As expenses increase, we are welcoming support from individuals and organizations alike so we can continue facilitating the high quality of the Winter Getaway at a reasonable price.

 

How can I (or my organization) become a partner?

Be creative! We will consider all offers to support any portion of the Winter Getaway.

For example: You can underwrite a scholarship for writers in need; pay for a talented teacher to lead a workshop and stay at Seaview; or sponsor our event space, A/V, the Getaway Bookstore, yoga, mealtimes, the Disco or any other scheduled events, like our MLK program or “Meet, Greet & Ask.” You could even supply the stash for our highly-coveted bags of chocolate.

Email murphywriting@stockton.edu to ask how you can become a Winter Getaway partner.

“Writing can be solitary and lonely. The Winter Poetry & Prose Getaway is like entering a special world. Novice or experienced, young or old, outgoing or shy, everyone can find their space to write and celebrate humanity.”
