Program Room

The theme of your story defines every aspect of how it is received. So what is it, and how is it distinct from topic? Explore how these two connect with writing fundamentals.

The Teen Writing Club meets monthly to discuss creative writing topics like characterization and worldbuilding, share and critique written excerpts, and examine the merit of published stories and novels. Bring your imagination and notebook.
