Thank You! Summer 2011

Richmond Young Writers 2011 wishes to thank Chop Suey Booksfor providing such a fabulous space to write as well as gift certificates for our students, the Byrd Theatre for hosting our weekly readings, Gylo for graphic design, Jennifer Unlimited for buttons, Cafe Ole for feeding our teachers and Capital Coffee & Desserts for providing such an excellent people watching location! Thank you Carytown for helping us foster a passion for creative writing within our community!


Although Richmond Young Writers is officially full for Summer 2011 be sure to check back soon for our fall schedule of after-school classes!

Now in its third summer, Richmond Young Writers has expanded to include more than young writers from Richmond!

We are delighted to announce that we will be writing with students from Richmond proper, Henrico, Glen Allen, Chesterfield, Midlothian, Montpelier, Powhatan, Moseley, Mechanicsville, Afton, Rockville and Gloucester!

And, for the first time ever, thanks to the donations of many generous individuals as well as Chop Suey Books, we were able to award 6 full scholarships and 7 partial scholarships to deserving students.

Please accept our heartfelt gratitude for your generous contributions:
