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.
