For over 20 years, we at the Kelly Writers House have believed in the power of the creative community. We are thrilled to bring a small group of high school writers to Penn’s campus for ten days this summer to learn from our faculty, our staff, and perhaps most importantly, from one another.

The goal of this workshop is to provide creative high school students, especially those who have not had similar opportunities, with the chance to dedicate full days to the practice of writing. Students will develop their own work and will read and critique their peers’ writing in a setting similar to an undergraduate writing workshop. There will also be time to explore Penn and Philadelphia with fellow workshop students and program staff.
