Young writers seeking a focused, engaged creative writing experience will find a home in the Smokewood Writers Workshop. Faculty include college professors, themselves published authors, who will guide young writers in how to expand their ideas and hone their style.
The Writers Workshop offers programming for students entering grades 9 through 12, including intensive writing workshops, craft sessions, creative readings and publication of student work.
This writing-immersive experience is provided by college professors who teach creative writing. We also coordinate with the Red Earth MFA program, the Center for Interpersonal Studies in Film and Literature and campus or community arts events.
In this hands-on academy, writers will compose in variety of genres, developing their creative writing technique as well as a personal writing process for completing larger projects. The week culminates in a presentation and public reading of student work. This event is open to family and friends.
