Accepted Students

The 2021 Reynolds Young Writers workshop will be held online only.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we will be holding the Reynolds Young Writers Workshop online again this year. While we will miss having everyone on campus, we look forward to building on the success of last year’s virtual session, and we are excited to make new connections, lift our spirits with poetry and prose, and work on the craft of writing through a range of fun activities offered in “real time” (synchronously) over Zoom. The morning workshop times will be adjusted by time zone. 

Online format for 2021

Over the course of the program week, our faculty members will offer:

• Small-group multi-genre workshops taught by experienced faculty, offered in “real time” via secure Zoom connection in two short morning segments (limited to 10-12 students per group)
• A choice of genre-specific small-group workshops on fun topics, offered in “real time” via Zoom in the afternoons
• Online discussion boards, short videos with writing tips, and links to online resources
• Live Q&A sessions with visiting writers Shayla Lawson, Philip B. Williams, and Asako Serizawa!
• Publication of a workshop anthology
• Evening faculty reading,  open mic nights, trivia games, and much more!

To join, you will need access to a computer (desktop, laptop, Chromebook, notebook) with a reliable internet connection for most of each day during the program week. If that is not possible (e.g., if you only have limited internet access, or if you cannot get to a computer at certain times of day), we will do our best to make accommodations to meet your needs.

The program fee for the online program is $650. If you were offered financial assistance, the amount due was indicated in your acceptance email and letter.

To secure your place in the program, please submit a nonrefundable $100 deposit (or the amount indicated in your letter) by Sunday April 18, 2021.  The $100 deposit will be applied to the total balance due. Multiple payments will be accepted. Full payment must be received by Sunday, May 9, 2021.
