Applications for The Common Young Writers Program are now open, and close May 17th. You will be asked to supply a brief two-page writing sample, which may be a short story, poem, essay, or other piece of writing. No prior experience is required. Applications will be reviewed by The Common's editorial team and decisions will be sent out by late May. 

Tuition payment is due by mid-June. For those receiving tuition waivers, we will correspond with you directly about the amount and timing of any tuition payments. Partial and full tuition waivers are available for both Level I and Level II.

The program runs July 22-August 2, and you must be able to attend in its entirety.

If you have questions, please contact the Literary Editorial Fellow at info@thecommononline.org.
