About The Workshop
The Young Writers Workshop of the University of Virginia, established in
1982, brings together a community of writers with a common purpose: to
create a supportive and noncompetitive environment where teenagers can
live and work as artists. Every staff member has a committment to writing.
The faculty, professional authors interested in developing new talent,
bring practical experience to the workshop setting. The staff counselors,
who are graduates and undergraduates in related fields, broaden our instructional
program as assisting workshop teachers and elective course instructors.
The administrators, also writers, are dedicated to nurturing the artistic
vision. The Young Writers Workshop, housed on the historic grounds of the
University of Virginia, uses the resources of a great institution -- the
home of former Poet Laureate Rita Dove and 1998 Pulitzer Prize recipient
Charles Wright--to provide a comprehensive program for talented young writers.
Our program is dedicated to developing the work of young writers. The
desire to write is what counts. We encourage inexperienced as well as practiced
writers to apply. You will receive feedback, personal attention, and the
level of instruction you need in order to grow. You will also receive written
commentaries from your instructor specific to your progress and suggestions
toward eventual publication.
