Summer Creative Writing Intensives for Teens, July 13-31, 2026

Information

For teens who love to write, The Writers Circle’s Summer Creative Writing Intensive is the perfect place to hone their craft. Students will develop their voices and writing ideas in a generous, creative environment with professional authors as instructors. Each week they’ll choose from two different genres to focus on - fiction, poetry, sci-fi/fantasy, and more. They’ll focus on their own writing projects as well as new work inspired by creative exercises and prompts. They’ll receive supportive, constructive feedback from instructors and peers. Literary inter-activities and group writing adventures, plus a reading on Friday will round out the week. They’ll also have the chance to submit their work for publication in The Writers Circle's online journal.

The Writers Circle is a Scholastic Awards Summer Scholarship Program partner.
