The 2025 High School Writers Conference will take place on October 17, 2025, from 9:30–3:00.
If you’re a high school student who loves to write, this annual conference is for you. If you’ve dreamed about journalism, law, nursing, or working for your city, and want to know how people in those professions use writing every day, this conference is also for you.
Our keynote speaker will present an opening talk that will inspire you in your writing. Then choose from sessions on poetry, fiction writing, journalism, and more. Experience life on a college campus with workshops at the historic Rutgers-Camden Writers House and lunch at the dining hall. We’ll cap off the day with an open mic, where you can volunteer to present your own original work.
All spots have been claimed for this year’s High School Writers Conference. Thank you for your interest!
