Unnathy Nellutla ’19 Accepted to Iowa Young Writers’ Studio
Senior Unnathy Nellutla was accepted to the 2019 Iowa Young Writers’ Studio, a highly selective two-week summer residential program that gives promising young creative writers the opportunity to share their writing with teachers and peers, receive constructive critique, participate in writing exercises and activities, and attend readings and literary events. Previous Newark Academy participants include Ezra Lebovitz ’18, Betsy Zaubler ’17, Elizabeth Merrigan ’16 and Flannery James ’14. Earlier this year Unnathy was nominated by Scholastic Art & Writing Award judges as one of five nominees from the the state of New Jersey for a Scholastic American Voices Medal. She is looking forward to attending the workshop in Iowa this summer.
