Young Writers Residential Summer Workshop (Session 1)

The Young Writers Summer Residential Workshop is an intensive two-week workshop for intellectually curious, motivated high-school students who are eager to develop their creative and critical abilities with language—to become better, more productive writers and more insightful thinkers. In generative workshops, students write to explore ideas and produce fresh work in a variety of genres, including short stories, poems, and essays. With their instructors and peers, student discuss the craft of writing (and rewriting) to stretch their talents and develop their own unique voice. This residential program takes place at Kenyon College, home of the Kenyon Review and a leading liberal arts college renowned for its literary history and beautiful campus. During Young Writers, participants immerse themselves in college life, living in dorms, writing in college classrooms, eating in Peirce Dining Hall, and spending downtime exploring the Village of Gambier and the Lowry Athletic Center.
