Young Writers Workshop: Costs & Session Details


SESSION I (TWO WEEKS) accomodates writers with a range of experience levels -- those beginning
study in a specific genre as well as those seeking to expand their study. This session encourages you to
experiment and take risks, offering many opportunities to trust your intuitions and test your commitment.
It features workshops, readings, conferences with our faculty, independently directed writing, and a variety
of venues for publication and performance.
 
SESSION II (THREE WEEKS) includes all Session I features plus guest writers, time for more
in-depth study, more emphasis on the finer points of technique and the realities of publication, all of which
develop a more heightened sense of purpose and command of craft. This advanced session accomodates
writers who want to deepen their understanding and control of a specific genre. It requires commitment,
focus, and reimagining the act of writing as revision.
 
OTHER DETAILS: Tuition includes instruction by published professional writers who are also master teachers, trained counselors who are both writers and teachers, access to computer and media facilities, room, board, recreation, accident insurance, local transportation, and a personal copy of the Workshop literary magazine in which all participants are featured. The average writer-student ratio is 1:12. Dormitory rooms are primarily double-occupancy; participants may request a roommate. The counselor-student ratio averages 1:8; females and males are accommodated in separate living suites. Participants are supervised in all aspects of the program. A limited number of full and partial scholarships, based on financial need, are available; financial aid forms should be requested in time to submit with the application.
