Richmond Young Writers sparks the emergence of youth voices through creative writing. RYW offers one-off and once-a-week fall and winter/spring after-school workshops in fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction, journalism, comics, and other topics. In the summer, we offer week-long creative writing camps, complete with amazing guest author appearances, snacks, deep thoughts, wordy goodness and a new crew of crazy writer friends. We open up space for personal connection, processing, and creativity. Perhaps no space has felt more vital than what we’ve offered over the last year and a half. It’s been such a tough time for everyone, kids especially. We’ve pushed our capacity to the limit to ensure that every young writer could participate in our programs, barrier-free.
