ABOUT THE YOUNG WRITERS PROJECT

The Carnegie Center invites young women and nonbinary writers in grades 9–12 to apply to the Young Writers Project, a FREE series of intensive workshops focused on creative self-expression through writing. The selected group of participants attend seven sessions. In these workshops, experienced writers in their 20s and 30s mentor on a variety of genres, encouraging participants to look within themselves for issues that are important in their lives. Participants also learn techniques to deliver an effective literary reading and other business-of-writing tips. The program culminates in a public reading and a Writing Mentor Day. Previously called the Young Women Writers Project, the Young Writers Project welcomes writers of all historically underrepresented genders who celebrate varied expressions of feminism. Learn more.

The Young Writers Project is sponsored by the Kentucky Foundation for Women.
