We want to know your story. 

Students ages 15 - 18: send us one document with up to five pages of your work—your poems, a short story, a scene or multiple scenes, the article you wrote for your student newspaper,  even your novel!

  • Early Admission: MON, APR 1

Please reach out to us with questions. 

  1. Enter your contact information (name, telephone number and email) in the Cover Letter field, as well as a short paragraph on why you’d like to spend three weeks writing with us. 
  2. If you're sending prose, double-space your submission. 
  3. If you're sending poetry, no more than one poem per page, please.
  4. You'll need to open a Submittable account if you don't have one already. (They're free!)
