SUMMARY:Swift Youth Writers Group - Writing for Teens
DESCRIPTION:Teens in 6th – 12th grade are invited to escape into creative writing and connect with other teen writers. Each month on the 2nd Sunday (unless otherwise noted) attendees will be led through prompts and exercises to help develop and stretch their creative writing skills. Attendees will be given a chance to share their work and have a chance to support others. No experience is necessary so all skill levels are encouraged to attend. At the end of the school year\, writers will be asked to submit 1 to 3 pieces (depending on genre) for inclusion in an anthology\, and a celebratory reading will be held. \nRegistration is not necessary. Writing Sundays are FREE! For more information\, click here. \nProvided in partnership with the Ames Writers Collective and the Ames Public Library

SUMMARY:Author Spotlight Featuring Gary Eller
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an Author Spotlight featuring Gary Eller\, author of True North. \nEller’s previous collection of short fiction\, THIN ICE AND OTHER RISKS (New Rivers Press) was well-received and described by one reviewer as “reminiscent of Raymond Carver’s best work.” In addition to many short stories\, he has published nonfiction articles on various topics such as commercial fishing in Alaska\, rare museum collections\, and post-divorce life. He has also published interviews and several articles on the craft of writing. His focus in the nonfiction genre\, however\, has been on baseball\, one of his many loves. \nHis writing awards include the River City Award in Fiction\, the Fowler Prize\, and a Minnesota Voices Award\, among others. He is a former Pushcart Prize nominee and recipient of a Creative Writing Fellowship from the National Endowment for the Arts. He has also taught fiction and nonfiction at Iowa State University and lectured widely on aspects of creative writing. \nCopies of True North will be available for purchase and author signing. \n  \n  \n  \nThis event is held in partnership with the\nAmes Writers Collective and KHOI Community Radio.
