Meredith College Offering Summer Writing Programs for Women and Girls
This summer, Meredith’s Department of English will once again offer writing programs for women and girls.
The 16th Annual Focusing on Form Workshop for Women Writers will be held June 25-29, 2012.
Since 1997, the Meredith College Department of English has sponsored a writing workshop for women who are writing, who want to write, and who want to try writing. The workshop offers instruction, critique of manuscripts, and—not the least of its advantages—new friends who share a common interest. Dozens of women have benefited from these workshops and from other writer events sponsored by Meredith.
During this one-week workshop, outstanding instructors will guide participants in either poetry, fiction, creative nonfiction or journaling.
In July, the department will host the Meredith Young Writers’ Camp. The sixth annual event will run July 9-13, 2012.
The camp, which is open to rising 6th, 7th, and 8th grade girls, will provide a chance to sharpen creative writing skills, read and discuss lively works of literature, and write fiction, drama, poetry, and creative nonfiction. The week includes recreation and fun activities. Meals and snacks provided.
For more information on either program, contact Ashley Hogan at hogana@meredith.edu.
