Teachers & Writers Collaborative
During a T&W writing residency, students come to think of themselves as writers. Most T&W workshops begin with students reading and discussing the work of contemporary and classic writers. Through these activities, students learn literary elements and techniques that they are then asked to use in their own creative writing—guided by a writing prompt assigned by the T&W writer. At the end of most T&W programs, students work with the writer to revise their work, which T&W publishes in an anthology.
T&W provides writing programs for K-12 students of all ages and backgrounds, including:
T&W programs help students develop creative and imaginative skills, increased motivation and skills in reading, and an improved ability to express their experiences and ideas in writing. Our writers-in-residence are backed by T&W’s 40 years of expertise in teaching writing. A T&W writer at your school can draw on the experience of T&W’s team of more than 40 writers who are also experienced teachers and on the innovative, time-tested ideas in T&W’s publications and archives.
Programs are available both during regular class time and after school. Schools can select programs in a variety of genres, including:
