High school juniors and seniors are invited to submit writing samples for a chance to qualify for the Writers’ Workshop held at the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point (UWSP).

The one-day workshop gives students the opportunity to discuss their writing with UWSP English faculty members and guest speakers, and senior students compete for scholarships to attend UWSP.  Students may enter by sending writing samples in any or all of five specific genres: formal essays on an environmental topic, familiar essays, children’s literature, poetry, and fiction. The writing samples are judged by UWSP English faculty members who also lead the workshops.

The workshop was created in 1973 by Isabelle Stelmahoske, retired associate professor of English.  For more information contact Pat Gott at 715-346-4347, or email pgott@uwsp.edu.
