Celebrating the 2021 Summer Creative Writing Intensives
2021 was quite a summer! The first time back in-person since the beginning of the pandemic. The first time back on campus at Drew University since 2019. The first time working with hybrid students. There were many firsts at the 2021 Summer Creative Writing Intensives and, boy, was it breathtaking in more ways than one. Check out all the creativity, companionship, collaboration, and fun we had in our 2021 Summer Creative Writing Intensive Photo Essay.
The Writers Circle Journal Issue 13: The Writer UNMasked
Creativity is the boldness to make something magnificent out of practically nothing. That is what is represented in this selection of brilliant work written by our talented teen writers during the 2021 Summer Creative Writing Intensives. Read these young writers’ words and listen to their thoughts in The Writers Circle Journal: The Writer UNMasked. They are our future and, trust us, they have much to say.
Less Stress College Essay is BACK!
October 9-10 Virtual Session
Writing a college essay can be the most stressful part of the application process, especially for students who don’t consider themselves “good writers.” While a little stress can motivate and energize, too much can turn this necessary task into paralyzing agony. Each half-day workshop will guide students toward a draft of their college essays while introducing them to stress reduction techniques that will ease them through the college application process. Students will brainstorm for an engaging topic that fulfills one of the 2016 essay prompts, then develop a working draft that fits the Common App requirements. Writing is rewriting, and there will still be work to do, but students will be way ahead of the game with their draft underway and with a few stress-relieving strategies.
Session taught by the fantastic Sarah Lyman Kravits.
