2019 Summer Creative Writing Intensives for Teens Who LOVE to WRITE!
Three Week-long Intensives Writing Daily, 9:00 AM-3:30 PM
Week 1: July 22-26
Week 2: July 29-August 2
Week 3: August 5-9
at Drew University, Madison, NJ
Now in our 7th year, The Writers Circle’s Summer Creative Writing Intensives are the perfect place to hone their craft. Students will develop their voices and writing ideas in a generous, creative environment with professional authors as instructors. Each week they’ll choose from two different morning workshops – fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, sci-fi/fantasy, and more. They’ll focus on their own writing projects as well as new work inspired by creative exercises and prompts. They’ll receive supportive, constructive feedback from instructors and peers. Special excursions, literary inter-activities, and a reading on Fridays for family and friends will round out the week. They’ll also have the chance to submit their work for publication in The Writers Circle’s online journal.
