Writing Clubs

Our lively and creative clubs provide a variety of writing experiences and opportunities to grow in the craft. As a community we participate in prompted writing and focused instructional activities. Time is always provided to write independently and share our words with one another. Led by experienced facilitators who also love to write, and who will work with individual participants to set writing goals and possibly move toward publication. Write on!

It is YOUR writing club.

All of our writing clubs are FREE for young writers. Participants must have a current registration form on file. If any contact information has changed, please complete a new registration form.

“It is not because I am old enough, not because I write well enough, not because I am a poet, but because I am a person my words are important.”
