Finding Your Voice

A Teen Writing Workshop with Ammi Midstokke

Author and columnist Ammi Midstokke hosts a creative writing workshop for teenagers.

This workshop is catered to young writers in 6th grade through high school who are learning to bring the wonder of the individual self to their work. We will explore how voice sets stories apart and how mining our own perceptions and thoughts of the world around us is how we nurture and free the unique voice of the writers within us. 

In this two-hour class, we’ll be using prompts to discover ourselves in our work. Whether you’re writing fiction, poetry, or book reports, this workshop promises a good time and better writing!
