Grand Mesa Writers' Symposium

The Grand Mesa Writers’ Symposium is more than an event—it’s a creative retreat held in the picturesque town of Cedaredge, perfectly situated beneath the breathtaking expanse of the Grand Mesa, the largest flattop mountain in the world. What makes GMWS unique is our focus on community. This is a welcoming place to convene with other writers and readers.
