Teen Ink Writing Workshop

Teen5 Teen Ink Writing Workshops are designed to foster creativity and self-expression in a supportive atmosphere. Participation is strictly limited to teens. There are no grades, no exams, no wrong answers—just creative writing.

Each class is taught by a professional writer adept at helping young writers discover and develop their unique voices. These classes are fun and pressure-free, but students will develop thinking and writing skills that will prove valuable in school and beyond. Better writing produces stronger college applications, and an extracurricular writing workshop is an impressive addition to any profile.

The interactive online workshop lasts for six weeks with new material and activities posted weekly. Every Teen Ink online writing workshop includes all the features that garnered Gotham "Best of the Web" status from Forbes, including:

     • Expert instruction
     • Small class size
     • Weekly lectures
     • Engaging writing exercises

In addition, only Teen Ink Writing Workshops offer the following:
     • Opportunity to submit a work for review by a Teen Ink editor for possible publication.
     • Special guest chat session with a Teen Ink editor.
     • One year subscription to Teen Ink magazine.
