WELCOME YOUNG WRITERS!
At Wordcrafters, we believe in the power of creative writing, and we believe in the power of youth voices. This site contains several offerings that we hope will encourage you and support you in telling your story, through poetry or fiction, on the page or on the stage.
IN RESPONSE TO COVID: A Resource for Teachers, Parents, and Students
As it has for so many organizations, the Covid-19 pandemic has required us to quickly re-imagine our programming. We were saddened at not being able to provide the WITS (Writers in the Schools) poetry residencies that we had planned for the Spring, or our in-person Summer Camp line-up for young writers. The QuaranTeened Voices project was originally created to ensure that we could continue making an active contribution to young people in our community interested in writing creatively over the Summer of 2020.
As we move into the Fall, we have extended the project in hopes of also serving teachers and parents looking for supplements to distance learning curriculum. In these times of change and challenge, we applaud every effort to transmute and transmit, through the power of the pen. #BeWriting
