The
Hudson Valley Writers' Center, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization founded
in 1988 with a mission to advance
the art and craft of writing by encouraging writers and readers at all levels
to participate in and enjoy the literary arts. It
offers classes for professional and amateur writers, presents public readings
by well-known and emerging prose writers and poets, does outreach work in several
community sites, and publishes at least one book of poetry each year under the
imprint Slapering Hol Press (Slapering Hol is
Old Dutch for Sleepy Hollow).
The Center's headquarters is the restored Philipse Manor railroad station, which overlooks the Hudson River in the village of Sleepy Hollow, Westchester County, New York. The Center is approximately 30 miles north of midtown Manhattan and 2.6 miles north of the Tappan Zee Bridge.
