About the Saturday Workshops

The Northern Virginia Writing Project provides one-day writing workshops for interested students and motivated writers in grades 5-12 in the fall and 4-12 in the spring. Workshops are run by NVWP Teacher Consultants, some of the best teachers in Northern Virginia. Class size is small, with a ratio of twelve students to one Teacher Consultant. The workshop runs from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.
Students may choose the workshop topics which interest them the most.  In addition, students in grades 10-12 may choose to take College Application Essay Writing, an intensive workshop designed to help them write truly effective college application essays.

Examples of topics offered: Art & Nature Writing, Visualization, Fantasy, Short Stories, Science Fiction Stories, Writing from Personal Experience, Theater Sports, Mystery Stories, Scriptwriting, Poetry, and Dialogue and Characterization.
