Join Austin’s best writers—award-winning poets, novelists, playwrights, essayists—in an eight-week creative writing workshop where participants author stories, poems, essays, and plays in a close-knit, supportive community. In these eight weeks, with the help of a professional writer, students will fill their journals with original work, revise and edit pieces for publication, encounter the joys and mysteries of literature, and engage in the practice of public performance. The workshop culminates in the publication of a library-quality anthology—Youth Voice In Ink. All participants are guaranteed publication. The final workshop includes a public reading, where writers share their work with fellow students, family, and friends. A second community-wide reading allows writers the chance to read before a larger audience and participate in a book-signing event. Each student receives a copy of the published anthology, which is also donated to the Austin Public Library System and sold at BookPeople. Workshops are open to all Austin-area students in grades 6-12. Enrollment is limited to ten students per workshop.
