Love to Write?

Join us for the
Young Women Writers Program 2009-2010

The Carnegie Center invites young women in grades 9-12 to apply to the Young Women Writers Program, a FREE series of intensive workshops focused on self-expression through writing. Those admitted to the program will receive full scholarships covering all instruction and materials as well as lunch at each session. Five sessions, held on consecutive Saturdays during January and February 2010, will incorporate creative writing exercises in flash fiction, creative nonfiction, memoir, poetry and young adult fiction. The selected participants will gather for five 4-hour workshops taught by experienced writers with expertise in a variety of fields and genres. The Young Women Writers Workshop is offered by the Carnegie Center for Literacy and Learning and is funded in part by the Kentucky Foundation for Women.
