The Georgetown University Creative Writing Academy is a one-week intensive program hosted by Georgetown University for high school students looking to develop their craft across genres including poetry, fiction, and personal prose. Participants work closely with graduate student instructors in workshop sessions and peer critiques, while also attending craft lectures and readings from published authors.
