Young Writers' Studio
Young Writers’ Studio offers 9th-12th
graders a chance to work with professional
writers to learn new techniques,
explore different genres, receive feedback
on their work and have fun in a
supportive environment. YWS is all
about encouraging young people to tap into their creativity and take their
writing to the next level.
You’ll never reach your dream of being a writer if you
don’t write. Once you get it down on paper, bring it to YWS and listen
to friendly feedback from folks who want you to improve your story or
poem. Sharing what you’ve written can be frightening but you can
overcome that fear by writing often and listening to constructive
criticism and praise. "Don’t get it right, just get it written." -James Thurber
All sessions
are held on Tuesdays from 6–8 p.m. at Thurber House, 77 Jefferson Avenue (map), the restored home of
author, humorist and New Yorker cartoonist James Thurber. Each session is $15 and can be paid at
the door, or register online for all five sessions for $75. For more information call Meg Brown
at 614-464-1032 ext. 16. Space is limited and is first-come, first-served.
