A hands-on introduction to college life, our program helps students hone their reading, critical thinking, and discussion skills.

This year’s workshop takes place from July 29th to August 4th, 2018. Here’s a video about our program.
In the JCU YWW, students 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 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.

As a writer of nine books of poems and prose, I have always sought other writers out to share work and 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.
