| 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 in the range of rising freshman to seniors in high school. 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. Session Dates and Deadlines: Session I: Sunday, June 20 to Friday, July 2 Session II: Sunday, July 4 to Friday, July 23 Applications must be postmarked by March 14, 2004. APPLY NOW > |
