Jeff Arch, Academy Award nominated writer of Sleepless in Seattle, will make the final decisions for Story Summit’s Dream On Scholarships.

Dream On Scholarships will reward writers of 50 and over who have an unrealized dream of bringing a story to life.

The Story Summit is conducted seasonally. It is designed to elevate and engage creative writers in inspiring locations around the world. Winter Story Summit will take place in the Caribbean from February 21 to February 27, 2020. Summer Story Summit will occur on a tour of Alaskan Glaciers in June, 2020.

“Dream On Scholarships provide the opportunity for mature writers to be re-inspired by their gifts with fellow writers on the beautiful, open seas,” says Story Summit Founder, David Kirkpatrick. Kirkpatrick is the former President of Paramount Pictures and former Production Chief of Walt Disney Studios. “We are thrilled Jeff Arch has agreed to spearhead the selection of Dream On winners. Jeff is a gifted writer and a funny, compassionate human being. We are honored to have Jeff taking the lead on these scholarships.”
