Wonderful opportunity for rising juniors and seniors interested in writing....

Why should  students have to wait until college to start honing their craft in poetry, fiction, and nonfiction? Every summer for more than two decades, talented high school students (current sophomores and juniors) have been welcomed to Denison University in Granville, Ohio, for the acclaimed Reynolds Young Writers Workshop. The workshop is an eight-day residential program that incorporates small creative writing workshops, group sessions with Denison creative writing faculty and notable visiting writers, and much more. Only 48 students get the chance to come to the Hill to participate each June. That means students experience small, intimate writing workshops and one-on-one interactions with people who have made writing their career. It's a great way to connect with a close-knit community of writing teachers, mentors, and peers from around the world. The program runs from June 17 to 24, 2018. Financial assistance is available to families who need it, and information about the program is online at reynolds.denison.edu. The online application portal will open on Wednesday, January 3, 2018. Applications must be submitted no later than Sunday, March 4, 2018, at 11:59 p.m.
