Event Description
GrubStreet's teen summer writing classes give writers aged 13 - 18 the opportunity to explore all different types of genres, topics, and styles of creative writing in the company of other teens who love words – written and spoken.
On June 1st from 6:30-7:30pm, join us for a Teen Summer Virtual Open House & Info Session to learn more about GrubStreet’s teen summer classes, our instructors, scholarships, what the online and in-person class experience will look like, and a chance to win a kit full of creative fun!
In this webinar-style session, a panel of our staff members will give you an overview of GrubStreet’s Young Adult Writers Program. Teens will then have a chance to chat with a few of our summer instructors. At the end, there will be some time set aside for a Q&A.
For any questions that are specific to you and your writing, please email us and we'll send a personalized response! We welcome all questions about all things related to YAWP and GrubStreet.
Please make sure to pre-register, so we can email you the link to join the meeting! To support your continued investment in your creative writing, all teen attendees will be gifted a 10% discount for any one Teen Summer 2022 class.

Zoom Participation:
In our experience, the intimate nature of a writing workshop benefits from on-camera participation. Students are of course welcome to turn their camera off whenever they need to, but it is a community norm for cameras to be on most of the time. You can learn more about using Zoom here.
Zoom Accessibility:
You can enable closed captioning at any time during the meeting by clicking the CC button at the bottom of the screen. If you'd like to access the transcript after class, please make sure to let your instructor ahead of time that you'd like a copy.
