The Summer Workshop for Young Writers is an opportunity for rising high school juniors and seniors to develop their creative writing skills across genres and to collaborate with creative and thoughtful peers and faculty. The Summer Workshop will be based on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. Our program's director and lead instructor is Jamie-Lee Josselyn, Penn's Creative Writing Program's Associate Director for Recruitment, who holds a B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania and an M.F.A. from Bennington College. Daily craft sessions will be led by members of our Creative Writing Program's faculty and by established writers who are close to the Kelly Writers House community. The Summer Workshop is also supported by the work of full and part time staff members of Penn’s Center for Programs in Contemporary Writing.
