2026 Summer Creative Writing Intensives – Early Bird Registration Is Here!
If your teen loves to write, The Writers Circle’s Summer Creative Writing Intensives are the place to be. Students develop their voices and writing ideas in a generous, creative environment with professional authors as instructors. Each week they’ll choose from two different genres to focus on – fiction, poetry, sci-fi/fantasy, and more. They’ll focus on their own writing projects as well as new work inspired by creative exercises and prompts, and receive supportive, constructive feedback from instructors and peers. Literary inter-activities and group writing adventures, plus a reading on Friday will round out the week. They’ll also have the chance to submit their work for publication in The Writers Circle’s online journal.
Early bird pricing until March 1, 2026. There’s no better way to spend the summer. Join us!
