young writers

project write now gives students:

• A safe, supportive environment to express themselves and explore their creative and intellectual curiosity.
• Ownership of their writing by letting them choose their own topics and set goals for improvement.
• Experimentation with different styles of writing, including freewriting, personal reflection, fiction, poetry, and more.
• Tools to write the way published authors do—through a process of prewriting, drafting, seeking feedback, and revision.
• Real-life audiences. In addition to sharing in class, students are encouraged to participate in our writer’s celebrations, enter writing contests, and submit their work to a variety of publications.
• The motivation to read a variety of genres outside of their comfort zone and through the lens of a writer.
• A writing community. We believe in the importance of joining with fellow writers to inspire and support one another.
