The Write Stuff: Creative Writing Workshop for Tweens and Teens at Calvert Library Prince Frederick

 

 

 

Want to be a writer when you grow up but don’t know where to begin?

 

During spring break, Calvert Library is hosting an interactive creative writing workshop to help get you started on the path to publication.  On Thursday, March 24 from 2:00-4:00 pm, acclaimed young adult authors Jessica Spotswood and J.C. Lillis will lend their expertise at Calvert Library Prince Frederick. 

 

Attendees in grades 5-12 will have the unique opportunity to work with published authors as they participate in writing exercises designed to help them learn about story structure, character development, and dialogue.  There will also be plenty of time for questions in order to provide an insider’s look at the writing process and the publishing industry.

 

Jessica Spotswood is the author of the historical fantasy trilogy The Cahill Witch Chronicles and the editor of the feminist historical anthology A Tyranny of Petticoats. She lives in Washington, DC and works as a children's library associate for the DC Public Library.  J.C. Lillis is the author of two contemporary young adult romances: How to Repair a Mechanical Heart and We Won't Feel a Thing. She lives in Baltimore, Maryland with her patient family and an impatient cat.
