Description:
The Sarah Lawrence College Summer Writer’s Workshop for High School Students is a unique collaboration between writers and other artists. Directed by distinguished faculty members, the program gives high school students the experience of writing in a non-competitive, non-judgmental environment that values the risks and adventure of the creative process. Each day participants attend writing and theatre workshops led by prose writers, poets and theatre artists. Included in the week are mini-workshops taught by program faculty and guest artists. Rooted in the Sarah Lawrence College tradition of one-to-one interaction, the program gives students the opportunity to meet individually with workshop leaders. In addition to workshops, there will be faculty and student readings and a celebration of student work on the last day.

The Sarah Lawrence College Writer’s Workshop for High School Students offers young writers an opportunity to explore the creative process with skilled writers and artists and to experience the joys of writing in a supportive environment. No previous creative writing experience is necessary – only a commitment to learning, a fascination with words and a desire to be part of a community that values art and experimentation.
