Festival of Faith and Writing

Academics / Departments & Programs / English / Student Experience / Festival of Faith and Writing

The Festival of Faith & Writing is a biennial gathering of readers, writers, and publishers interested in how issues of faith become fleshed out in the written word. Past speakers include Katherine Paterson, Frederick Buechner, and Maya Angelou.

Calvin Center for Faith & Writing

The new Calvin Center for Faith & Writing has students at the heart of its mission. Opportunities abound for avid readers, keen writers, and anyone interested in how literature helps us examine the deepest truths. The CCFW seeks to be a leader in preparing people for work in publishing, so students are invited to participate in ongoing conversations and hands-on workshops with writers, editors, and other publishing professionals. In addition, each year the CCFW offers four competitively awarded student fellowships—student fellows gain valuable experience by participating in all activities of the CCFW, including assisting with book and media production and helping with the acclaimed Festival of Faith & Writing. There’s a place for you—join us!
