Object: Photo from Day 3 of the 2025 Young Writers’ Workshop.
Observations: 1) This photo captures the energy and creativity that powers our annual Young Writers’ Workshop. 2) Now in its 13th year, the Young Writers’ Workshop provides five days of creative writing workshops with the guidance of experienced K-State faculty and graduate students for young writers entering 8th, 9th, or 10th grade. Enrollment is free but limited to 15 students to ensure close attention to students’ creative work. 3) On this particular day in 2025, the visiting writer was playwright and KU professor Darren Canady, whose writing activities culminated in a dramatic performance of scenes composed by the young writers, photographed here. (You can read a full report on the Young Writers’ Workshop blog.) 4) Have a young writer in your life who would like to join us for the 2026 workshop, June 8-12? Our priority application deadline is May 1, but applications submitted after that date will be considered as space is available. Visit the Young Writers’ Workshop website for more details!
