Young Writers OutLOUD – Wednesdays July 11, 18 & 25, 2pm at Richmondtown Library
Staten Island OutLOUD is proud to continue Young Writers OutLOUD, our popular creative writing workshop series for ages 10-16. Our Young Writers OutLOUD workshops will take place Wednesday afternoons, July 11, 18 & 15 at 2pm in the Richmondtown branch library, 200 Clarke Ave, SINY 10306.
Our Young Writers OutLOUD workshop series is free.
We welcome young Islanders who’ve done a lot of creative writing, as well as those who are just getting started. During each workshop session we’ll experiment with different writing styles. Then, during the week everyone will have a chance to work on short original pieces, which we’ll enjoy sharing with each other at the next workshop session.
With parents’ permission, we’ll publish participants’ short original works on our website, and (also with parents’ permission) we’ll create a magazine featuring their original work.
To join our workshop, all you have to do is show up with a positive attitude, a willingness to learn, and a readiness to work cooperatively with other young people, and with our workshop leader. It’s fun and it’s free!
