Creative Writing

SummerBerg’s Creative Writing Workshop offers guidance to all aspiring writers, regardless of experience. Students read a variety of texts, and are encouraged to write every day and share their work in a relaxed and supportive environment. Whether meeting at the library, in the classroom, or on a shady spot on the campus, this program is about helping students find their voice and articulate their ideas in written formats.

The Creative Writing Workshop is a good choice for students who need to work on their writing skills and mechanics; students gain the ability to express themselves more clearly and elegantly through exposure to the technical side of the English language. We make mechanics enjoyable to learn because our writing projects are always creative. Imagination is welcomed and fostered, helping students to discover their inner voice through whatever style they choose.

Our teachers are young, creative writing professionals who are familiar with the classics of poetry and fiction, as well as essential contemporary works. Each session includes a mix of activities and programs, ranging from poetry readings to improvisational free writes, to open mics with readings by professional writers, including the course’s own teachers! All that is required of Writing workshop applicants is an enthusiastic and open mind to the boundless art of the written word.
