DC Public Library, in partnership with Pepco, is proud to host creative writing workshops for young people between the ages of 13 - 19 provided by Writopia Lab. In these hour-long workshops held over WebEx, published authors, poets, and playwrights will guide youth in authoring their own work of creative writing based on a social issue that they are passionate about. All workshops are multi-genre (fiction, non-fiction, poetry, and plays may be explored). Sessions are peppered with original and fun writing exercises to get the creative juices flowing and help writers to reflect on social issues impacting youth today. The workshop will end with time for writers to share their work and receive insightful feedback from both the instructor and their peers.

A day before the workshop, you will receive an e-mail confirming your session time and instructions on how to login and participate in the workshop. Each workshop is limited to 15 participants.
