Youth Writing Festivals
The Nebraska Writing Project sponsors two day long writing festivals for students in grades 9-12. The goal of this initiative is to give students an opportunity to hone their writing skills in a collaborative setting and to build a community with fellow student writers.
In an attempt to involve students and teachers from across Nebraska, we host two sites: Elkhorn South High School and Grand Island Senior High. Dates, schedules, and registration information will be posted on the Writing Festival Website.If you’d like to be involved with the Youth Writing Festivals either by bringing students or presenting, please feel free to contact the festival directors.
