Abstract
This program is a one week long, intensive and immersive program in creative writing for high school students. It takes place during the summer of the 10th or 11th grade years. The program is free to anyone who is accepted and admissions to the program are based on writing samples. This means that grades, gender, and socioeconomic class play no part in the selection.
