                                                          Teen Creative Writing Residency at Atlantic Center for the Arts

   Join other teens for an intensive ten-day writing residency (訓(xùn)練) with Master Writers at the world renowned Atlantic Center for the Arts.

The Residency

The Teen Creative Writing Residency is a summer writing residency that offers 9th―12th grade teens writing workshops and mentorship (輔導(dǎo)) by distinguished authors in poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. The Teen Creative Writing Residency will be held at Atlantic Center from July 13 through July 26, offering 21 teens from around the country an extraordinary opportunity to expand the power of their individual voices through writing workshops with Master Writers.

Residency Schedule

Teen writers will join three Master Writers-in-Residence, one in each of the following genres (類型) ― poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. The mentorship with the Master Writers-in-Residence will be the focus, but the chance to have conversations with the other Visiting Writers and participating Teen Writers will be valuable.

Classes meet Monday―Friday for two hours of workshops. Teen writers will have the opportunity to focus on one genre, while also exploring the other forms of literature through workshops and conversation.

Admission

The selection process for the unique literary residency opportunity will be competitive. Atlantic Center receives the applications, and the judges evaluate writing samples. As class sizes are kept small to provide the highest quality instruction, not all qualified writers may be accepted.

Applications should include the following:

1. Cover Letter: Your name, address, age, phone number(s)

2. Statement of Intent: Why do you want to attend this residency? (1 page)

3. Writing Sample: 3 pages: Your writing sample should be in your preferred genre. You may include more than one genre in your sample (for example, 1 poem, and 2 pages of fiction), but the entire sample is limited to 3 pages.
