About Young Writers Institute

Young Writers Institute was founded in 2013 by veteran teacher, Casey Midkiff. We seek to provide young people with the tools and motivation to use their voices creatively!

Our programs are great for any writer at any level! We maintain a stress-free environment where students can feel supported and successful. We welcome every writer - from those who need extra support to those who are accomplished authors. We offer a variety of classes, camps, and workshops so that students can work on what interests them.

Writing is an art as well as a skill. We recognize that writing can be intimidating for students who lack confidence with the "art" part or who struggle with the "skill" part. We make an effort to meet each writer at their current level and take small steps to grow from that point. Small class sizes ensure that each student receives plenty of individual attention as well as support, guidance, and feedback along the way. Most parents report great growth in their students' willingness to write, confidence, quality of content, and skill in mechanics.
