The Muse Writers Center

2022 Teen Writers Fellowship Application now Open!

The Muse Writers Center is now taking application for our 2022 Teen Writers Fellowship! Any sophomore or junior student who lives in the greater Tidewater area is encouraged to apply here.

The fellows selected will receive 25 creative writing classes and workshops, 4 mentorship sessions with a professional writer, and have the chance to pitch to literary agents at the Hampton Roads Writers Conference. All at no cost to the fellow!

The Muse Writers Center is more than just a place to learn how to become a writer. It is a thriving literary community for all writers! We are especially proud of the teen writers in the Muse community, who continue to create and collaborate with writing friends into college and adulthood.

In 2022 we will select our 4th cohort of Teen Fellows and we couldn't be more excited. This is what parents of two 2021 Fellows had to say about the program:

"We noticed that [our son's] writing not only increased in its descriptive nature but he was more and more confident sharing it with us and with others. I cannot say enough about how amazing the different Reading Night sessions were for us. It was just amazing to hear his words (and indeed those of the other fellows)."

"[Our daughter] has become more engaged with writing and positively looks toward incorporating writing into her future."

The application is quick and easy. Teens will answer a few brief questions and submit creative work for consideration.

Submissions are due by January 3rd. Click here to apply

We look forward to reading your applications.

Best,

Remy Smidt
Youth Coordinator
