John Carroll University Young Writers Workshop Summer 2023

 

Dear Grace, The John Carroll University Young Writers Workshop (YWW), a week-long summer camp at John Carroll University, offers in person, online, and overnight options, so students from all over the country can experience inspiring and rigorous creative writing! This year's workshop takes place from Monday, July 24 to Friday, July 28, 2023. The cost for the day-only option is $380; the residential option is $980. Early bird rates and some scholarships are available. The application deadline for the workshop is May 1, 2023. For more information about the JCU YWW, please visit sites.jcu.edu/yww. In the JCU YWW, students in grades 8-12 participate in an immersive writing experience in the craft of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry. Studying with acclaimed professors, students read, engage in writing exercises, workshop their stories and poems, and experience a pre-college environment. They also compose new work, which will be published in our annual anthology. The last day of camp features a reception and reading by the Young Writers. Here's a video about our program. As a writer of nine books, I have always sought the company of other writers to improve my craft. Community is essential to my experience of being a writer. I founded the YWW in 2010 because I believed that high school writers also craved a space to read, write, and share their work -- with established writers and peers. Mentorship and community provide the kindling for the writer's fiery desire to write great stories and poems. The alums of the YWW have proved me right! For more information about my work, check out this site.  Email me at pmetres@jcu.edu or call 216-556-1101 or our contact Graduate Coordinator, Megan Connor at 216-397-1911 with any questions.
