THE YOUNG WRITERS WORKSHOP
WRITE BELIEVE ACHIEVE--12th Anniversary! JUNE 22 through JUNE 26, 2010 Southern Illinois University CarbondaleThe eleventh Young Writers Workshop was so much fun we just have to do it again! We wrote, we laughed, we ate bad food--I can't wait to do it again. If you'd like to join us next year for the twelfth annual Young Writers Workshop, please write me or the Division of Continuing Education at Southern Illinois University Carbondale. We'll put your name on our mailing list. Here are the details: What: The Young Writers Workshop, a five-day residential program for writers aged 15-18 (high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors), featuring daily poetry and prose writing classes, readings by faculty and participants, and panels on special writing topics. When: June 22-26, 2010, on the campus of Southern Illinois University Carbondale, Carbondale, IL 62901. Carbondale is two hours south of St. Louis, by car. How much?: $300 for room, meals, all materials, and instruction. Commuting students get meals, materials and instruction for $275. There's a 5% discount for returning workshop participants. Do I have to submit a writing sample?: Yes, three poems or three to five pages of prose (story or essay). The writing sample does not determine admission, but helps us to know what group--the poetry section or the prose section--you'll be in during the Workshop. Samples are also used to determine our scholarship winners--so no separate scholarship application is necessary. How do I sign up?: Registration will be on a first-come, first-serve basis, with enrollment limited to 30 students. Contact the Division of Continuing Education, Mail Code 6705, Washington Square C, Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, IL 62901-6705.
