Young Writers Project Inc

Young Writers Project's mission is to inspire, mentor, publish, and promote young writers and artists. Young Writers Project (YWP) is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit that began in 2006 in Burlington, VT. All programming is free for youth ages 13 to 19. Most of our community members are from Vermont and around the Northeast, although young people find us on the web or through their teachers and word-of-mouth, and we welcome them from across the United States and other countries. Our website, youngwritersproject.org, is the heart of YWP, a creative online community of teen writers and visual artists who post to their own blogs and interact with each other through supportive comments and online forums, receive encouragement and mentoring from YWP staff and alumni advisors, and submit their work for publication. We receive more than 10,000 submissions on the site each year, and from these, we select the best work for publication with our Vermont media partners.
