WHEN: The 1st Thursday of every month from 5pm-6:30pm

WHERE: Mooresville Public Library

Published authors Katherine L.E. White and Talis Jones hold a monthly writing group for teens (ages 13-18) at the local library. Come meet fellow writers, learn more about the writing craft, explore your own creativity, receive feedback on projects, ask published authors any and all of your questions, and most importantly have fun! We alternate between writing prompts, mini lessons, Q&A’s, and an opportunity to share about your own writing projects. No one is ever forced to share their writing, but we do encourage you to as we do our best to make this a safe, chill, and constructive environment for everyone.

*Update: Due to a scheduling conflict, I will no longer be co-leading starting December 2022. I’m so sad to have to say goodbye! But maybe I’ll be able to jump back in someday! Keep on writing, you guys!
