About Salt Lake Teens Write
The Salt Lake Teens Write (SLTW) program is a youth program of the SLCC Community Writing Center (CWC) in partnership with the Salt Lake City Public Library. We're proud to provide this series of writing workshops to support teens as they develop their skills and passion for creative writing. All teens entering grades 9-12 this fall are eligible to participate in this program. Participants in each group will meet for three weeks at the designated times for comprehensive workshops and publication processes. Additionally, participants will work together and separately to create amazing works of writing and engage in their creative passions.
The CWC is a community outreach program of the Salt Lake Community College. We have a number of exciting programs and services dedicated to helping you with your writing.

Wanna get published?
At the end of each year, all the writing cohorts come together to collaborate on an anthology publication and public reading to celebrate the different texts they have created during the year. All Salt Lake Valley teens are eligible to submit regardless of registration status! (In other words, don't worry if you didn't have a chance to join a writing group throughout the year).
This year's submission deadline is 11:59 PM on November 4, 2023.
The reading gala will be held on the evening of December 16 at the SLCC Community Writing Center
to honor the artists whose works are selected for publication.
Make your submission via Submittable by clicking on the button below!
SLTW has several programs at different times throughout 2023.
