How does where you come from enrich your writing? Find out when you join the Young Writers’ Workshop. The Young Writers' Workshop is a three-day workshop for middle and high school students (entering 7th to 12th grades) held at the State Historical Museum of Iowa.

During the three days (9 a.m. - 4 p.m. each day), students will take a tour of the museum’s collection vault, discover the story behind an artifact and weave the past into fiction that reflects you as a writer while honing their historical research and writing skills in a unique environment.
