Iowa Young Writers' Studio

<p>I went to the young writer’s program this past summer, and it was seriously one of the best experiences of my life. It is a highly prestigious program- the most selective pre-college writing workshop in the country- and it looks excellent on college apps. There’s a variety of classes to take, depending on what you’re interested in. I took the poetry class, which was amazing, and it really helped me with my writing. There’s time in the morning for seminar with your teacher, where you go over published writing and mechanics, and what exactly makes a piece high quality, and in the afternoon you workshop the writing of other members of your class. I would completely encourage you to apply if you love to write!</p>
