Creative Writing Summer Programs 2020

[excellentlamb]

hello there! i’m planning to apply to some summer programs on creative writing this year. I’ve been looking into Kenyon, UVA Summer writing program, Bard College Young Writer’s Workshop, and CSSSA. Are there any other interesting summer programs? I’m looking at programs ranging from 2-4 weeks but with a reasonable cost (around 2k-3k). Thanks!

@FiveJ, there’s another recent post on summer Creative Writing programs that I posted on. My D22 did Hollins creative writing and really enjoyed it. It’s in Roanoke.

HS Creative Writing Program for HS FreshmanSewanee vs UVA summer Creative Writing Program

I have a freshman who is very interested in creative writing and she is interested in doing a summer writing program. It looks like many of the programs are for older HS students. Two programs that accept rising sophomores are Sewanee and UVA. Anyone have familiarity with either? I’m more familiar with UVA as a school, but have heard little about their program. I was not familiar with Sewanee at all, but their program seems well regarded. I am looking for the best experience for my daughter, something motivating and challenging, so prestige isn’t as important.
