School Engagement in the Arts


Your voice. Your words. Your summer.

Join us this July for a workshop that opens the door to a life in writing.


92NY’s Young Writers Workshop gathers talented teen writers from all over the country for warm, supportive workshops in fiction, non-fiction, and poetry with some NYC’s best creative writing teachers.

Expand your sense of what it’s possible to do with words. Meet the teachers and friends who will help you push your writing to the next level. Find the words to speak your truth. See you in NYC.
