Class Description
This class will be hosted remotely! You will be able to participate in class via Zoom videoconference from wherever you’re most comfortable. All you’ll need is a laptop or a phone! About 15 minutes before your class is scheduled to begin, you'll receive an email from your instructor with a link to join the class meeting via Zoom–no need to download anything or sign up for Zoom in advance! If you have questions about remote learning, please feel free to reach out to [email protected] for more information.
These office hours are open to any teen who wants to ask an instructor a question about a creative writing project, resources, opportunities, upcoming classes, and tips. Feel free to bring 1 page of your work with you to the Office Hours for a light review/discussion. (Depending on the size of the group, we can cover more pages or adapt to respond to as many students as possible.) These sessions can also be used simply to chat about your writing goals or questions. And when no one has a question, we'll just write together, using the prompts shared by the instructor. Whatever works for you. The goal is...there is no goal! We'll meander our way through all things creative writing in a relaxed and welcoming environment that isn't school.
Please note that these sessions will be conducted in a group setting. If the group is larger, we won't have time to cover everything. But we are exploring more/other options and programs for the future! Keep checking back for updates and additions to our programming.
For writers ages 13 - 18 ONLY.
This is part of a series of office hours being held May 14th to Jun 18th, Thursdays, 4 to 5pm. All office hour sessions in this series:

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.
