0144 - Duke Creative Writers' Workshop

Course description.

Join an intensive writing community where getting words on the page is at the heart of every day. The Creative Writers’ Workshop program will take your craft to the next level. Each day you’ll dive into lessons addressing technique and process, such as Avoiding Sentimentality, Persona Poems, and Scalpel, Please: Aspects of Revision. You’ll offer and receive critiques in roundtable workshops modeled after college-level writing courses, and by program’s end, you’ll have completed a collection of poems, a short story, a one-act play, or another creative project of your choosing. If you’ve been craving time, space, and gentle pressure to put words on the page, Creative Writers’ Workshop will provide them in abundance. Step out of your “real life,” open your notebook, and be amazed at how quickly you can grow as a writer.

Love DYWC!!! This camp draws a diverse crowd and everyone seems to find some amazing friends. Since I do not write creatively, DYWC is one of the few programs that offers journalism and nonfiction courses, a huge plus for me! I have spent two summers at DYWC and all of my teachers are incredibly energetic and passionate. The counselors here are amazing and create an incredibly warm environment. The non academic activities are vast, but HS students also have the oppourtunity to walk to 9th street in the evening, one of my favorite thigs about DYWC! I've both developed lifelong writig skills and made friends for life at this amazing place I call DYWC.

If you're a college student looking to get ahead academically —  Let your future run through Duke University Summer Session!

Each year, about 1,500 students participate in Summer Session for a variety of reasons. Some enroll in courses to help reach their second major, or minor, or certificate. Some see it as a great opportunity to focus on more difficult courses or foreign language classes. Others want to get some courses out of the way so they can study abroad later. And still others use Summer Session to take courses they have difficulty getting in to during the regular academic year.  

But all agree, the casual and more relaxed environment of the summer classes, coupled with the individual attention they receive, make Duke University Summer Session special.
