Mentorship Program (Seniors Only)

Love writing but need professional guidance and tutelage to help develop your voice? Apply to the Daphne Online Writing Workshop! We will select 12–15 dedicated students to participate in an intensive, collaborative workshop led by Daphne Editor and professional writer Danika Dinsmore.

Our workshop participants have benefited greatly over the years. Many have used this time to refine their writing, get published in literary magazines, and win awards such as the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards and PYAA. This workshop has also helped students gain acceptance into top colleges and renowned creative writing programs.

Recent Daphne participants have been accepted to Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Stanford, Columbia, and prestigious writing programs such as Iowa, Kenyon, Juniper, and Emerson!
