We partner aspiring writers with seasoned mentors across genres, from poetry to screenwriting, to nurture their talents and bring their stories to life. Join us to turn your passion into published success.
No cost to attend. Royal Writers covers the materials, so every young writer can take part.
Writing as a tool for well-being. Young writers use journaling, poetry, and storytelling to build confidence, process big feelings, and find their voice, in a supportive group.
Free monthly workshops for high school readers built around challenged and classic titles, with free access to the books. Students read closely, discuss openly, and write about literature at the AP level.
Why it matters: on the AP English Literature exam, students write an essay about a novel or play of literary merit from their own reading. Many of the classics students have relied on are no longer available in some Florida public schools. Once you join Royal Writers, many of these books are here for you to borrow, and we discuss them in our monthly workshops.
Intensive workshops designed to boost your writing skills across genres and styles.
Guided support from experienced authors to help you craft and publish your book, from concept to completion.
Explore poetic forms and techniques with expert mentors to refine your voice and express your creativity.
The Royal Writers Organization is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit that has served young writers for more than ten years. We give students the time, mentors, and stage to grow into authors and poets, especially students who have not had access to programs like these.
Royal Writers was founded by Jonita Saint-Leger, a certified English teacher with an M.F.A. in Creative Writing and a background in psychology and youth services. That mix shapes our work: strong writing instruction, with care for the whole young person.
Your gift keeps our workshops free for every young writer who walks in.
Gifts of any size cover workshop supplies, books for students, and publishing costs for young authors.
