Newman Smith Junior Grey Trentel was selected to participate in the New England Young Writer’s Conference, May 15-18, at Middlebury College, Vermont.
This is an extremely competitive conference for young writers held annually at the Bread Loaf Campus in Vermont.
The conference brings together 200 top high school writers from New England, New York and beyond. Students share manuscripts, attend readings, and study craft-skills with a staff comprised of professional writers and/or college-level teachers of creative writing.
The Young Writer’s Conference offers about 15 hours of formal educational events including conference-wide gatherings to hear professional authors read, writing workshops which bring together about 10 students for extended sessions with a single author, and one-on-one conferences with authors.
