Starting Here: For Young Writers

Like to read? write? create?

Join us for a special writing workshop!  

Starting Here: For Young Readers & Writers

Monday, January 16 — Thursday, January 19, 2012

4pm to 5:15pm

A special week of reading & writing games and activities for all ages. As part of Seashore's Afterschool Program, students will explore creative writing through word games, crafts, poetry and prose.

No writing experience is necessary. Just a love (or even tepid interest with potential for love) of reading, writing, and the magic that happens when you put pen to page.

To culminate the week, students will be invited to read their work at Starting Here: A Stafford Celebration on Saturday, January 21 from 2 to 4pm, at the Waldport Community Center.

For more information, contact: Senitila McKinley, Seashore director, 541-563-7323, or Drew Myron, instructor, dcm@drewmyron.com.
