Tennessee Young Writers' Workshop
In collaboration with Humanities Tennessee, Austin Peay State University is the proud
new home of the Tennessee Young Writers' Workshop. The Tennessee Young Writers' Workshop
provides high school students ages 14-18 with a unique overnight summer camp experience
focused on Creative Writing.
This year's camp will be hosted at Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tennessee
from June 15-June 22, 2025. Students will spend the week on campus, enjoy evening
activities and events, and learn from engaging, professional instructors who will
lead workshops in a wide variety of creative writing styles and genres, all while
interacting with peers who share the same passions and goals. The summer camp vibe
will also include various summer camp activities (poetry line friendship bracelets!
tie-dye!) in addition to writing workshops.
To apply, please fill out the following form. Applications are awarded acceptance
on a competitive basis, and students are required to submit a creative writing sample.
Additionally, students must be between the ages of 14-18 during the time of summer
camp; no exceptions will be made to the age requirements.
The fee for this year's camp is $350 per student. Financial assistance is available
and will be decided upon acceptance. The need for financial assistance does not factor
into the acceptance decision.
