ARCHIVE FOR YAWP

The trash fire that was 2020 continues to bring frustrations and hardships. We’re also getting a little burned out from remote learning. But what if you still want to safely get together with other creative writers in some relaxed way online that doesn’t feel like school? Well, here you go.

Teens said they wanted some structure in a class that was also lowkey and flexible, so it didn’t feel like obligatory school

Teen writers, join Dharani Persaud in a quick info session about GrubStreet's Teen Writing Fellowship! We'll walk you through all the components of the application and answer any questions you may have about the process. No question is too small! Reserve your spot today.

Teen writers! Check out our upcoming free YAWP Saturday (remote) sessions happening this Saturday, December 12th. We have workshops that cover a variety of topics such as fiction, personal essay, poetry, and more. Plus, we've added two brand new classes happening back-to-back on Saturday, December 19th: Dream It, Write It!: Explore Fantasy & Sci-Fi Writing and Weekend Writing Escape Session. Fill your day with writing by signing up for both! Note: All YAWP Saturdays in Fall 2020 will be held remotely on Zoom. Click here for more information.
