Write the World Alumni:
Free Writing Workshops for Young Adults
Welcome to our space where young adults with a passion for writing can connect and share their work! Our free online writing workshops are open to all young adults, even if you are not an alum of Write the World, and cover a variety of genres, styles, and topics to help you develop your craft.
In December, we are holding an Open Mic Night to celebrate an amazing year of writing. Whether you would like to read your work at the event or just come along as an audience member, make sure you sign up below! To stay updated on more free workshops and writing resources, join our newsletter and follow our social media channels.
We deeply appreciate and encourage a donation of US$5 or more to support our nonprofit mission and programs at Write the World.
Open Mic Night: Share your Writing with the World
Experienced writers, performers, and newcomers alike: it's your turn to speak. Don't miss this chance to share your work.
To celebrate a year of incredible workshops, we will be holding an Open Mic event on Zoom this December! This will be a free opportunity for writers to come together and share their work in a friendly, supportive environment. Whether you're a published writer, a beginner trying something new, or anywhere in between, we welcome all voices.
Date: Tuesday, December 17th
Time: 7pm Eastern Time
Location: Zoom
How it Works:
- The Open Mic is open to all young adult writers, and you can share a piece in any genre - poetry, prose, flash fiction, personal essay, you name it
- Each person who would like to read will be given a slot to share their work. You can have the virtual 'stage' for anywhere up to 4 minutes, and we will get in touch before the session to ask what you are planning to read
- You are welcome to just come along and watch the session as an audience member if you prefer
- The deadline to sign up to read a piece in November 30th, but we will close early if all slots are filled! So sign up now to avoid disappointment
If you have attended any of our workshops this year, we would love for you to read a piece that you wrote in a workshop, but you are welcome to read anything you feel comfortable with. Don't worry about having a perfectly polished piece - this event is a low-pressure chance for you to share work that you are proud of and hear from other writers all around the world. Whether you are planning to read or just want to come along and watch, use the registration form to sign up now. Let's connect through writing and share our passion worldwide!
