Young Writers Workshop

Write, learn, share, and participate in a community of writers at Hamline University. 

This creative writing day-camp for area high school and college bound students (ages 15-18) on the beautiful Hamline University campus provides students an opportunity to receive in-depth instruction and time with a published author in poetry, fiction, or creative nonfiction each morning; a group lunch; and afternoon “mini courses” in writing, book arts, or literary magazine production. A field trip exploring our “Literary Twin Cities,” a panel discussion with published authors, and a concluding reading and celebration are all a part of this creative writing experience. 

Upcoming Workshop

Dates for the 2013 Workshop: June 17-21, 2013
