The Mission of the Teen Writers’ Summit is to curate a diverse platform for teens to assess and advocate their writing by engaging the journalism, collegiate, and literary landscapes. The Summit will include panel discussions, a college/book fair, and a college essay review station.
With the help of our teen leaders, we have curated hour-long panel discussions featuring Scholastic Art & Writing representatives, PEN America representatives, directors of undergraduate creative writing programs, literary magazine and book editors, literary agents, and established authors, journalists, playwrights and comedians.
Panels include:
The Silencing of Loud Voices What Success Means for a Poet What’s Funny? Thinking Outside the Stage Just Getting Started Breaking News Writing Outside of Yourself
