SUMMARY:Swift Youth Writers Group - Writing for Teens
DESCRIPTION:NOTE: Due to spring breaks\, this group has been moved to 4th Sunday in March! We’re back to the 2nd Sunday in April. \nTeens 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
