Writers In The Schools

Writers in the Schools LogoWriters in the Schools (WITS) is a nonprofit organization that places creative writers in schools, museums, hospitals, and other venues. Most residencies are a 28-week commitment that involves visiting two or three classes once a week. This commitment pays around $100-$120 per week and can therefore add about $3,000 to your annual income. WITS also offers a limited number of summer teaching opportunities during the month of June. The Houston WITS organization is the most highly respected in the nation, and most UH graduate students find working with WITS an immensely gratifying, if also challenging, experience. WITS usually hires incoming writers during the summertime. Applications require a letter of application, a resume, and a writing sample and are due by August 1. Interviews are usually held between August 1-15.
