Online Summer Workshops for Teen Writers

Young Writers Workshops – sponsored by Stony Brook Southampton’s MFA in Creative Writing and the Young Artists and Writers Project (YAWP) – mentor young people in developing creative expression and critical thinking through writing. Workshops pair seasoned writing teachers and adult writers with students ages 13-18 in fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and screenwriting. All workshops take place online via Zoom.
