Our Writer's Salon will meet three times this fall for live zoom sessions that begin with a prompt and writing warm up followed by student readings of works in progress. We have built this space to allow students to stay connected to our Teen Writer's Institute programs and to experience the writing community offered by our Novel Writing Program. There will be no set lectures or assignments; rather, in this course, students will write together and receive peer feedback in a process facilitated by our author in residence, Hannah Jayne. Come join us and walk away with notes on a piece of writing, a peer group connected by the common pursuit of a creative writing life, and a clearer idea of how to make writing fit into your busy lifestyle!
