Hi!
Patrick here with Humanities Tennessee. Hope you're doing well.
The Tennessee Young Writers' Workshop (where high school students have the opportunity to explore their writing passion and hone their craft among peers and under the encouragement of professional,
published writers) returns this summer.
If you know of a student or students who'd be interested, we'd be grateful if you could pass along the information to them.
For more info and to apply please visit: https://www.youngwritersworkshop.org/
WHO
High School students (incoming Fall 2022 Freshmen through outgoing Spring 2022 Seniors ages 14-18 as of June 2022) who have a sincere interest in creative writing and would like to hone their craft with peers and professionals.
WHR
Classes take place at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City and students stay in dorms on the campus. * Transportation (via bus) from/to Nashville will be provided for those who'd like it* \\\\ ONLINE ONLY OPTION \\\ will also
be available if meeting in-person isn't in the cards for the student at the moment.
NUM
The maximum number of students to teacher ratio at the workshop is 12:1. This ensures that all students receive personal attention and instruction from the Workshop’s exceptional faculty and staff.
$$$
With incredible support from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Tennessee Arts Commission and individual donors, this year's workshop fee is reduced to $300* per student. This includes room and board,
all class materials, t-shirt, class instruction and transportation from/to Nashville. *If that figure is not compatible with a student's current financial situation, tuition support (full or partial) is available.
HOW
To apply to the 2022 workshop, please fill out application at
youngwritersworkshop.org. All applications must include a recent writing sample (no more than 2,500 words). This may be a poem, short story, creative nonfiction essay, play, piece of some epic tale, etc. This piece does not have to be something from school.
