Young Writers Institute readings announced

Participants in the New York State Summer Young Writers Institute, a creative writing program for high school students in grade 10 and older, will read from their works on Friday, July 24.  Free and open to the public, the reading will take place from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. in Davis Auditorium of Palamountain Hall.

Offered under the auspices of Skidmore?s Office of the Dean of Special Programs, the Young Writers Institute is a weeklong creative writing workshop where high school students receive instruction in poetry, prose, and imaginative non-fiction.  The Young Writers Institute overlaps with the New York State Summer Writers Institute (for writers who are college-age and older), which takes place during July at the College.  A major benefit of both programs is the presence of nationally acclaimed authors as teachers and visiting scholars, many of whom interact with students in the classroom and during special events such as readings and discussions.
