    Overview

    This summer, immerse yourself in the craft of creative writing with fellow young authors in a pre-college environment. Learn from an industry expert as you transform your ideas and stories into compelling writing. Develop the techniques that are fundamental to all types of fiction writing—literary fiction, dystopian fantasies, fairy tales, and mysteries—and refine your skills in story structure, character development, description, and dialogue. 

    Students will also experience lectures, interact with noted authors, and receive information on how to turn their passion into a career. Gain exposure to workshopping your writing with constructive feedback, ultimately walking away with a variety of short creative pieces ranging from poems, stories, and scenes, to collage texts and flash fiction.

    Ideal For

    • High school students who have completed grades 9, 10, or 11
    • High school students interested in strengthening creative writing skills

    You'll Walk Away With

    • Refinement of your creative writing, including narrative arc, world-building, authentic dialogue, and character development
    • A portfolio of peer-critiqued short stories
