Event Description
Event Description:
Debating whether to apply to our Teen Writing Fellowship? Join us and two of last year’s fellows, Daniela Martinez and Nida Syed, as we talk about a day in the life of the Teen Writing Fellowship and what young writers gain from the fellowship experience beyond learning new techniques. The panel will end with a Q&A session, where no question is too big or small to be asked. We hope to see you there!
If you do not have a GrubStreet account with us to register for the event, no worries! Creating an account is super easy and takes less than a minute.

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.
