Thank you for your interest in the 7th annual Young Writers Workshop at  Endicott College in Beverly, MA!

We invite high school writers (entering grades 8-12 in Fall 2025) to join us on Endicott’s seaside campus from June 25-27, 2025. Sessions will focus on poetry, fiction, young adult writing, writing for the screen, and writing and music. We welcome both novice and advanced creative writers. 

NEW this year!: Students interested in digital, TV, and print journalism should also check out the Young Journalists Workshop! 

Participants in the Young Writers Workshop will work closely with Endicott’s  renowned faculty members to create and refine new writing, learn how to give feedback to their peers, and receive tips on how to promote and publish their work. They will develop their skills in a fun, supportive environment, through dialogue with experienced writers and with other students who share their interest in creative writing.

On this site, you will find important information about the conference and how to apply, biographies for the faculty members, and answers to some frequently asked questions. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me (ewinthro@endicott.edu). I hope to hear from you, and to meet you this summer!
