Accepted Students

The 2020 Reynolds Young Writers workshop will be held online only.

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Denison’s campus is closed. As a result, we are excited to be moving the Reynolds Young Writers Workshop online. While we will miss having everyone on campus, we look forward to making new connections, lifting our spirits with poetry and prose, and working on the craft of writing through a range of fun activities offered in both synchronous and asynchronous modes.

Online format for 2020

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

• Small-group multi-genre workshops, offered in “real time” via secure Zoom connection in two short morning segments (limited to 8-10 students per group)
• A choice of genre-specific small-group workshops on fun topics, offered in “real time” via Zoom in the afternoons
• Remote learning option for those who cannot join these “real time” sessions
• Online discussion boards, short videos with writing tips, and links to online resources
• Live Q&A sessions with visiting writers, including the Poet Laureate of Ohio
• Publication of a workshop anthology
• Live online readings, open mic nights over Zoom, 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 access to the internet over a mobile phone, or if you cannot get to a computer at certain times of day), you may still participate via remote learning (asynchronous mode).

The program fee for the online program is $600. If you were offered financial assistance, the amount due was indicated in your acceptance letter.

To secure your place in the program, please submit a nonrefundable $100 deposit by Sunday April 19, 2020.  The $100 deposit will be applied to the total balance due. Multiple payments will be accepted. Full payment must be received by Sunday, May 10, 2020.
