The Young Writers Institute is a workshop for high-school sophomores, juniors and seniors who write poetry or creative prose.
Adult and youth writers meet in group workshop sessions, held Mondays through Fridays in the mornings. In the afternoons accomplished writers and editors from Missouri and Illinois read from their work and discuss writing and publishing. Participants have weekends free for writing. Traditionally, Institute participants finish up the two weeks with an open-mike reading of their own work. Tuition this year is $845 noncredit or $1795 to earn three college credits. Is that a lot? I guarantee it won't get any cheaper! Maybe this is your year!

Catherine,
ReplyDeleteThis looks like an excellent program for young adults. I'll let some young writers know about it.
