MHS soph selected for writing program
April 02, 2015

     Monroe High School sophomore Katie Tayler has been chosen to participate in the 2015 Young Women’s Writing Workshop at Smith College in Northampton, Mass.  Students from across the country and from around the world will join Katie at this prestigious two-week summer workshop.  The professors for the workshops are all published writers and poets. 

     It was quite an honor for Katie to earn this academic award because only a select few students are chosen to participate in this national workshop class.  The workshop will allow Katie to develop her skills as a writer, giving her the opportunity to be trained in various forms and styles of writing.

     All of the classes are in workshop style, meaning each class begins with a short segment focusing on a single lesson.  The instructors then work with the young writers who also get open writing time.  At the end of the workshop, each participant will have the start of an on-line writing portfolio and some professional contacts in the literary world.  At night, participants also will get the chance to meet published authors and hear them read and discuss their work.
