About Writers Week
Virtual: July 7 to July 11, 2025 On Campus Session One: July 21 to July 25, 2025 On Campus Session Two: August 4 to August 8, 2025 Since 1999, Writers Week at Sarah Lawrence College has offered creative young people an immersive week-long experience with creative writing and the performance arts. Each day, participants attend writing and theatre workshops led by prose writers, poets, and performance artists. Included in the week are mini-workshops taught by program faculty, graduate students and guest artists. Rooted in the Sarah Lawrence College tradition of close interaction, the program offers students the opportunity to meet in small groups with workshop leaders. This program is open to young people ages 14 to 18. Learn more at slc.edu/summer
