Young Writers Workshop

Each summer, the East Texas Writing Project and the English Program at A&M-Texarkana, along with the generous support of community and regional organizations, bring young imaginations to life through the Young Writers’ Workshop (YWW). This dynamic summer program welcomes students entering first through 12th grade from across the region.

During YWW, young writers spend their time engaged in reading, writing, and artistic activities designed to develop and deepen their understanding of genres and themes often left underexplored in traditional classrooms. In previous summers, participants have explored genres including myths, fairy tales, travel memoirs, adventure writing, proposals, poetry, one-day plays, character sketches, short fiction, and graphic novels.

By the end of the program, our young writers have much to show from their efforts, products they showcase in our final Closing Ceremony open to parents, family, campus, and community friends.

The Young Writers’ Workshop is grateful to its sponsors for making this vital community literacy project a continued success.
