Harvardwood Boston/On-Campus is one of our most active chapters, with frequent speaker events, panels, and a thriving screenwriters' group. We also organize events with our Harvard student liaisons at the College and graduate schools.
Every year, after Commencement, Harvardwood hosts a mixer during Reunions Weekend in Harvard Square to bring together generations of Harvard alums in the arts, media, and entertainment.
This chapter has also fostered the formation of a supportive and committed community of writers in Boston. The Harvardwood Writers Program screenwriting group provides an environment for writers to try out ideas in a safe space and receive the encouragement to get started on a project—or to finally finish one. *Writers of all levels of experience have shown improvement in the quality of their work as a result of their participation. Notably, one writer used his experience in the group to cut down and polish a script that went on to earn him representation and the interest of a major director. It is currently in production.
*Participating writers must be
Harvardwood members.
