Emily Edwards attends the Bard College Young Writers Workshop.

Emily Edwards says that her first week at the Bard College Young Writers Workshop was, in one-word, “different.” “Any building on campus could easily be accessed in a less than 10-minute walk through the beautiful, humid, wooded paths. The classrooms were one of the few air-conditioned buildings, providing nice cool spaces to write, read, and discuss,” Emily says.
