WNY Young Writers' Studio

The WNY Young Writers’ Studio runs throughout the year and new fellows may enroll at any time. Dates, times, and locations of next sessions and other upcoming events can be found below. Consider joining us at the Kenan Center or at our Union East location for a complimentary session. This will help you learn more about who we are, how we work, and if you feel at home in our program.

Studio is open to writers in grades 1-12 and to teachers of writing in any setting, who may earn up to 40 hours of professional development credit for their participation.

We work hard to keep Studio accessible to all. As a result, a one year fellowship costs $180.00 for young writers. Financial assistance is available, and educators are not charged for their participation.

Online registration is open here, and you may download our flier and snail-mail registration form here.
