The Nook Farm Writers Collaborative is a summer creative writing apprenticeship at The Mark Twain House & Museum in Hartford, Connecticut under the guidance of writing teachers Victoria Nordlund and Jamie Pisacane, program coordinator Grace DiModugno, and the museum’s Associate Director for Education Dr. Erin Bartram. The program is inspired by Mark Twain’s life as a working writer, someone who wrote in a variety of genres and cultivated a range of skills in order to sustain a career in a challenging publishing world.
