Responses from 2008 your word participants

"I just want to say thank you for making this happen, for making history, for giving us, a group of twenty-one teen writers from all around the world a community where we could work, learn, and develop in our passion for writing."

"Quite frankly, this was one of the best experience I've ever had."

"This program exposed me to the greater world of writing in an outstanding program that could never find anywhere else."

"Having other writers around was extremely helpful. I was able to constantly receive feedback or criticism on something I was writing. It was uplifting."
