This year's event will be held June 8-19, 2009 from 9am-12noon in the USC Upstate University Readiness Center. This event is open to students all over the upstate and always produces memorable experiences and wonderful piece of original writing from promising authors. The deadline to register is May 20, 2009.
SJWP is....
- …a wonderful writing-enrichment summer program for students rising to grades 3 through 12.
- …an outgrowth of the nationally-recognized Spartanburg Writing Project for teachers.
- …an opportunity to work with professional writers, poets, and story-tellers.
- …a writer’s-workshop approach to encourage stretching and sharpening writing skills and creativity.
- …a field-trip experience with the extra treat of planned on-site writing.
- …a guarantee to become a published author in the summer anthology (and, possibly, in other publications).
- …a forum for reading and/or perform- ing chosen pieces for an audience.
- …a place to enjoy small-group instruction with other writers in similar-grade classes.
