Here’s what 2007 and 2008 participants are saying about the Juniper Institute for Young Writers:
Spotlight on Young Writers Lily Barrett, Rivka Barrett, and Alice Taylor Gear.
“A once-in-a-decade experience. A real eye-opener. I’ve learned more here in a week than at my school in a semester.”
“The ideal experience for a young writer. You cross paths with amazing authors you never would have discovered in your hometown.”
“It was an excellent writing experience that I would recommend to any young writer who wishes to kick off their summer with inspiration.”
“The workshop was awesome. We had an extremely engaging class and fantastic, lively discussions.”
“Juniper helped me delve deeper into writing I didn’t know I could produce. I really enjoyed working with all the people that I did. I saw my writing change and improve. Juniper taught me a lot about writing and helped me make incredible friends.”
“Grand. New. Exciting!”
“As a writer, the workshop allowed me to see my writing outside my own perspective, to see it from other people’s views and gather some good advice on how to make it better.”
“It was great and I will carry it with me in my heart, head, and pages.”
“I loved the readings and being able to hear from experienced writers who are all at the top of their fields.”
“It’s been so inspiring for my writing, but I’ve also met so many interesting people I have so much in common with. This is unlike anything I’ve ever been involved in—it’s been awesome.”
“I loved all of the faculty and organizers!”
“At first, I was intimidated because I had never been around so many talented writers before. But everyone was incredibly welcoming and warm, and I found myself feeling at home within a couple of days. Readings and classes were stimulating, and I started seeing writing in a totally new way.”
“I feel like I was hit in the head and suddenly everything worked.” |
