About Young Writers Project

EXPLORE | CREATE | CONNECT

Young Writers Project is a free online community of teen writers and visual artists.

​Young Writers Project (YWP) invites all young creators – 13 to 18 years of age, from anywhere – to join the YWP community. Youth who are 12 may join with parental permission. Teachers are also welcome to use our challenges and resources for inspiration, and to submit student work for publication through the “For Teachers” tab on the site. 

YWP's mission is to inspire, mentor, publish, and promote young writers and artists. We are an independent nonprofit that started in 2006. We are located at 47 Maple St., Suite 216, Burlington, VT.
