Young Writers' Workshop at NTL
Young
Writers Short Story Workshops 2013
At
The Newbury Town Library
Author
and Creative Writing Teacher Paul Myette, with Miss Olivia, invite young
writers to join us as we workshop short fiction, here at the library. We ask
for a commitment to all these dates and times, so that our writers will be able
to produce one new, original piece of short fiction. Writers are encouraged to
bring original writing they are working on, or an idea for a story they would
like to begin. This workshop is open to all middle school and high school
students.
The first three, hour-long workshops will help
writers to dissect the form of the short story, working on these three
important aspects, all allowing to make for a rich and well-written piece.
·
Thursday,
July 18th from 5-6 PM: Developing Dialog
·
Thursday,
July 25th from 5-6 PM: Developing Action
·
Thursday,
August 1st from 5-6 PM: Developing Conflict
Writers will then share with the group their
stories, allowing for teachers and peers to positively critique and work
through any issues the writer might be having with the story.
·
Thursday,
August 8th from 5-7 PM: Critique
We invite our writers, their families and friends,
to join us with some light refreshments as we hold an open-mic here at the
library to celebrate the completion of this workshop and their final pieces of
short fiction.
·
Thursday.
August 29th from 5-7 PM: Story Share
Spaces
will be limited, and all writing levels and abilities are welcome. Please
contact Miss Olivia to register now! 978-465-0539 or ogatti@mvlc.org
