If your child loves to write, The Writers Circle is the perfect place to hone their craft in a generous, creative environment. This summer, they'll:



  • work with professional authors to develop their voices and writing ideas

  • choose from several specific genres to focus on each week

  • work on their own writing projects and get personal editorial feedback

  • get supportive, constructive critique on their writing from instructors and peers

  • learn about revision and editing through The Writers Circle's online journal

  • spend time examining the writing of peers and masters


  • Plus they'll make life-long friends with like-minded young writers from the local area.
