SUMMARY:Writing the Tough Stuff for Teens
DESCRIPTION:Writing the Tough Stuff for Teens is a free 8-week writing workshop. \nThis intensive free on-site writing workshop is an opportunity for students in grades 9-12 to write about subjects and challenges such as sexuality\, gender identity\, peer and family relationships\, bullying\, mental illness\, racism\, etc. \nDuring this multi-week workshop at Creative Nonfiction\, participants will become part of a special cohort of young adults working together. You will be given the opportunity to share and reflect on the writing process; specifically\, how writing about difficult topics gives the writer the opportunity to investigate their life and take ownership of their experiences. In addition to learning the basics of creative nonfiction\, such as crafting scenes and characters\, finding your audience\, and revising your work\, you’ll also receive training on how to prepare a portion of your work to be performed aloud at a final “graduation” event. \nWorkshops will be led by author Julie Albright\, owner of The Writing Studio. She has 27 years of experience providing writing workshops\, tutoring\, and editing services for kids and adults. \nWhat is creative nonfiction?\nSimply put\, creative nonfiction is true stories\, well told—factually accurate\, artful prose about real people and events. “Creative nonfiction can be an essay\, a journal article\, a research paper\, a memoir\, or a poem; it can be personal or not\, or it can be all of these.” — Lee Gutkind. Learn more about the genre here. \nWho should apply?\nAny resident of Allegheny County in grades 9–12 who has a story to share. You must also be prepared to travel to the Creative Nonfiction Foundation’s workshop space (5119 Coral Street\, Pittsburgh\, PA 152245119 Coral Street\, Pittsburgh\, PA 15224) for weekly meetings. All applicants must be available to attend workshops in Pittsburgh on the following dates*. \nDates\n*The eight workshops will take place on Wednesdays\, Oct 16\, 23\, 30\, Nov 6\, 13\, 20 (not the 27th)\, and Dec 4\, 11. The weekly workshops are tentatively scheduled to run from 6 PM until 8:30 PM each Wednesday. Dinner and snacks will be provided. \nAll accepted participants should expect to attend and participate in a “graduation” reading scheduled for the evening of Friday\, Dec 13th\, 2019. \n\nApplications are due by September 29th\, 2019. \nLearn more here: https://creativenonfiction.org/writing-tough-stuff-teens
