Murphy Writing Of Stockton University

Peter founded Murphy Writing Seminars, LLC to help writers develop their craft. He learned how to engage an audience by getting them to laugh at his stupid jokes. He also learned how to keep them coming back by creating a challenging and supportive community where they could mature as writers. His flagship program, The Annual Winter Poetry & Prose Getaway, grew from a weekend workshop with twenty participants in 1994 to one of the largest winter writing conferences, attracting more than 200 participants from around the world. And even though his programs generated millions of dollars in revenue, Peter was surprised when Stockton University made an offer to acquire Murphy Writing and hire him and his staff to run it. It’s been a good match, and he plans to keep teaching writers to write until he drops.
