IN THE KNOW

Writers and artists share strategies and guide students to complete projects that show their understanding of the rules of good writing, finding their unique voice for effective writing, artistic process, style and technique. These skills transfer to real-world applications and reflect each student’s interests.

I WRITE NY aims to cultivate communities of emerging young writers and artists from our ever-expanding network. Participants work with coaches and mentors and are encouraged to apply for apprenticeships in their area of interest. Their best work may be selected for events, exhibits, or publications. The outcome: a treasure trove of exceptional work by youth.

But writing is about discovering that anything is possible, about rediscovering what can beinvented, reinvented and redefined in how we see the world around us. The Know has that spirit in its many programs which pair its mentors, professional writers, with young students in public schools to work on their writing.

​

-Crystal Skillman, Playwright

I wanted to write and let you know how grateful I am that there is a program such as yours. We have always encouraged our children to use their imaginations and creativity and I think it is wonderful that there are organizations who formally recognize a child’s creative writing ability.

-B. Pooley, Parent, Cedar Rapids, IA
