Young Writers Institutes – 2022
Attention, interested young people entering grades 7-12! We are again holding Young Writers Institutes during two weeks in July. The dates are as follows:
Week One: Tuesday, July 5, Wednesday, July 6, and Thursday July 7
Week Two: Monday, July 11, Tuesday, July 12, Wednesday, July 13, and Friday, July 15
Three In-Person Sessions in Oakland: Tuesday, July 5, Monday, July 11, and Friday, July 15
Synchronous sessions (2 each day) will be held online in late mornings and early afternoons on July 6, 7, 12, 13.
Cost: $125 (Scholarships available if needed)
This year, we’d like to try some carefully selected face-to-face sessions along with online sessions using Google platforms. Writing coaches will guide you through synchronous and asynchronous writing workshops, lessons, discussions, activities and inquiries. You’ll identify your own writing goals for the Institute and we’ll lead you through the writing process to accomplish them! Have you ever considered submitting to the The 12th Annual New York Times Summer Reading Contest or Scholastic Writing Awards 2023? Maybe you’ve been itching to start writing that stellar novel you’re always daydreaming about? Let’s get started!
