• Young Writers Workshop Summer Program for High School Students – Bard College at Simon’s Rock

  Description: The Young Writers Workshop began in 1983 and is held each summer on the campus of Bard College at Simon’s Rock, the nation’s only four-year liberal arts college designed specifically for students ready to begin college after the 10th or 11th grade. Each year we select 84 students from around the country and the world to participate in the workshop. Our focus is on using informal, playful expressive writing as a way to strengthen skills of language and thinking.

  The daily writing activities draw on contemporary stories, essays, and poems the group has read, as well as personal experience, the natural world, music, and works of art. This informal writing is frequently shared in small peer writing groups. The emphasis isn’t on judging the work but on helping one another develop more focused and polished pieces, from poems and short stories to personal narratives and reflective prose.

  The workshop sections are small and emphasize an atmosphere of trust and collaboration. Discovering one’s personal voice as a writer is a key element of the three weeks. Former students have gone on to attend such colleges as Amherst, Bard, Harvard, Haverford, Penn, Princeton, Simon’s Rock, Smith, Stanford, Williams, and Yale.
