Drop In Fridays!

This fall, The Philadelphia Writing Project invites students (ages 10+) to attend monthly drop-in sessions from September through November. Undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral students from the University of Pennsylvania will be available to discuss students’ creative and academic writing. No need to book an appointment. Just drop in and write! 

Coaches are ready support any form of writing, from submissions to the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, college scholarship and admission essays, creative works (e.g., poems, short stories, novels), and school assignments. We also support young people as lifelong writers via writing-centered activities, games, and brainstorming activities.

We are excited to work in partnership with Cosmic Writers, a creative writing organization for youth in Philadelphia and beyond. If you are interested in receiving sustained, weekly 1:1 mentorship beyond the drop-in sessions at Friday Night Writes, Cosmic Coaching would be a great it! You can sign up for a 1:1 tutor here!
