Registration is now open for the Cape Cod Writers Center’s Young Writers Program, August 1-3, at the Emerald Resort’s Irish Village Conference Center, 35 Scudder Avenue, Hyannis, MA. This long-standing program, which runs from 9:00 AM to noon, is now offered free of charge to students living on Cape Cod and in the region.

This summer workshop is open to young writers of poetry or prose in grades 8-12. The program fosters a cooperative and supportive environment to help students build confidence and develop their unique voices in writing. Their instructor is author Reade Scott Whinnem, who has been teaching media and English since 1997 at the Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School.

Students must complete the Young Writers Program application before they can be accepted. Parents and guardians must sign the application for students under the age of 18.
Parents are invited to hear their teenagers read from their work on Sunday, August 3rd at 10:30 AM at the Emerald Hotel’s Irish Village Conference Center.
