Online Creative Writing Workshops for High School Students (ages 16-18)

The Young Writers Summer Online Workshop brings the creative writing community out of the classroom and into your home with several options for generative, multi-genre online workshops. Our intensive, workshops provide opportunities for intellectually curious, motivated high-school students to develop their creative and critical abilities with language—to become better, more productive writers and more insightful thinkers.

Our Approach

Writers discover what they want to say—their ideas, images, narrative direction—in the act of writing (and rewriting). At Young Writers Online, students write to explore ideas, then develop those ideas through further writing. Because good writers are also avid readers, students read short stories, poems, and essays to discuss, write about, and use as inspiration for their own work.

Each of our week-long online workshops uses a specific lens through which to explore creative writing and critical thinking. Students may apply for multiple workshops. All three of these workshops are generative, cover all genres, and are designed to engage and challenge any student who is passionate about creative writing.
