Back for its seventh year in the Lowcountry, Write of Summer is a camp where young people find their writing voices and have a blast doing it. Children are natural poets, with limited inhibitions and unlimited powers of observation and imagination. With guidance from professional writers, they'll create works that are serious, sweet, funny and weird.
The camps will be at two locations Locations: The Russell House, Christ Our King Church, 1122 Russell Drive in Mount Pleasant and Blue Bicycle Books, 420 King Street in Charleston.

Returning writers will be challenged with many new exercises and prompts, plus favorites from past years. Each session will visit the Gibbes Museum of Art and will close with a coffeehouse reading, with students performing from their portfolios of new work.
Camp leader, Jonathan Sanchez, is a two-time winner in the South Carolina Fiction Project. He has been writer-in-residence at the Jack Kerouac House in Orlando and has led workshops at dozens of schools.
Sanchez grew up in Charlotte, attended West Charlotte High School and graduated from Yale. He lives in the Wagener Terrace of Charleston with his wife, Lauren, an architectural designer, and his daughter, Evelyn, a baby. You can find him most days at his store, Blue Bicycle Books.
