This new in-person NYC-based program invites younger writers to explore a variety of voices, forms and styles. In each class, you’ll read poems, stories and essays and use a variety of writing prompts to inspire new work. You’ll also learn how to talk deeply and critically about your own work and learn to give smart and useful feedback to your peers on exercises and assignments.

No application required. Register at 92NY.org/yww today.

Program for Ages 15-18

Develop your craft through analysis and creative prompts and look deeply and critically at your own work and that of your peers. In the first week, you’ll consider what makes a poem memorable and how to write arresting images. In week two, you’ll continue your investigation into form and how character and voice are developed and sustained in fiction. In the final week, you’ll study journalism, true crime, narrative history, personal essay and/or podcasting to craft a compelling, thoughtful stories in which the only rule is that you’re sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. You’ll leave with a better understanding of your interests and goals as a writer, an understanding of what it takes to make a career in the literary community, and a highly developed body of new work.

Applications required.
