JCU Young Writers Workshop Summer 2019!

The John Carroll University Young Writers Workshop, a week-long summer camp at John Carroll University, is now offering both day camp and overnight residential options, so students from all over the country can experience inspiring and rigorous creative writing! This year’s workshop takes place from July 22-26, 2019.

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.

For more information about the JCU YWW, please visit http://sites.jcu.edu/yww/ . The cost for the day-only option is $380; the residential option is $980, though there is an early-bird rate in April. Application deadline for the workshop is June 1, 2019.

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!

Happy writing!

From the organizers:

The John Carroll Young Writers Workshop (for students grades 8–12) will take place on July 19-July 23, 2021, on the campus of John Carroll University, directed by award-winning creative writing faculty from John Carroll University. This year, we’re offering both day camp and overnight options. Students participate in a rigorous and inspiring program that provides an introduction to the art and craft of poetry and short fiction. In morning and afternoon sessions, students study with acclaimed writers, engaging in writing-intensive exercises designed to address the elements of craft. They participate in lively workshop sessions in which they discuss each other’s work to spur revision. Over the week, students have individual conferences with Dr. Philip Metres about their writing, and then submit writing for the YWW anthology, published on the final day of the camp. Families are welcome to attend the final reception and reading.

If we’re still dealing with the pandemic, we can offer the workshop fully online. All you need is access to a computer, wifi, a Zoom account, and a quiet space to write and talk with your cohort!
