The Katherine Anne Porter Young Writers Program is held at the Katherine Anne Porter Literary Center in Kyle, Texas. The Center is a National Literary Landmark, dedicated in June 2002 by First Lady Laura Bush, the Library of Congress, and Friends of the Libraries USA.

The KAP Young Writers Program, generously sponsored by the Burdine Johnson Foundation, combines the talents of students from the MFA Program in Creative Writing at Texas State University, and students from the Academy@Hays, an alternative high school in Kyle, Texas. As members of one of the country's premier creative writing programs, KAP instructors bring their unique perspectives to the classrooms, where they foster not only writing talent, but show students how to become better readers.

For the KAP Young Writers, they get to seek and develop their own voices as writers, and the results of their work is published on here. For Texas State graduate students, the summer classes provide a unique and amazing chance to teach creative writing in a setting that changes children's lives.
