 Registration for the third annual Ironwood Ryder Studio is now open. The Heinemann Settlement School hosts the week-long studio for high schoolers interested in various types of riding from June 23rd through June 28th. Ironwood is a week-long residency for high school students to come to the Heinemann Settlement School and they stay on campus kind of in the dorms. They get to study with well-respected and published writers from throughout the region and one of the best parts is that they get to be accepted into the broader Appalachian writing community. They get to see that we're excited in them as writers. They get to practice the different genres so they'll do poetry, they'll do fiction and non-fiction and also we do other bonus sessions that keep them in their creative brain and are kind of adjacent to writing. Appalachian Wireless Forward Pay. If you want to connect with no credit check, no contracts and most features are post-paid. We're talking about forward pay. This month gets $75 off select prepaid devices. Forward pay because we are you. We are Appalachian Wireless. The week will feature classes with award-winning writers, Manuel Iris, Julia Watts, Karen Salliol, Macklemore alongside other classes and activities. It's a great opportunity for them to explore different types of writing, get to meet and learn from some of these Appalachian writers that they've been hearing about in their English classes but also they get to build this creative network of young writers and peers from across the region because quite often the students that come to us at Ironwood are rural and they may not have creative writing programming in their classes and they may not have other peers their age who enjoy creative writing so it's a really great opportunity for them to meet new people that have similar interests. Registration is $400 and scholarships are available. For more information and to apply go to Heineman.org. Reporting for Mountain Top News, I'm Brianna Robinson.
