Gaithersburg Teen Writers Published In Emerging Voices, Vol. 3

41ndq6dybpl-_sx311_bo1204203200_Emerging Voices, Volume 3, the anthology of teen writing club members published by the Maryland Writers’ Association is now in print and includes work by three of the members of the Gaithersburg Teen Writing Club which I co-mentor. I’m so very proud of all of them for not only submitting their work for publication, but also for participating in a rigorous editing process to polish and finalize their work! Many thanks to the editors of the anthology, Jeneva Stone, Mark Willen, and Christina Lyons for all their hard work in getting this latest anthology published.

The book is available for purchase on Amazon, for a very affordable price that covers the publication costs. Neither MWA or any of the authors or editors make any money from the sale of the books.

Creative Writing For Teens Workshop At The Gaithersburg Book Festival

I am so excited to have the opportunity to co-facilitate a Creative Writing For Teens workshop at The 2016 Gaithersburg (MD) Book Festival  on May 21 from 4:00-5:30 at the Writer’s Center Tent:

Using participatory writing prompts, teen writers will have an opportunity to experience and learn more about how workshopping techniques can assist them in their creative writing. They will have a chance to share their work and get feedback as time allows. They will receive information about MWA’s teen writing clubs which are offered without cost at libraries throughout the state as well as other resources to further their writing.

The workshop is free and open to all teens and a great chance to find out more about the ongoing Maryland Writers’ Association’s teen writing clubs and the experience of being a writer.
