Every other week, teens gather to write, create, and explore ways to get their stories on paper. Whether it's a passion, or just a hobby, we invite any student in grades 9-12 to join us for an opportunity to spend time with others who also like to write.

With Columbus College of Art and Design professor Robert Loss, we challenge students to take a different spin each week through exploratory exercises designed to inspire out-of-the box thinking. A portion of each session is set aside for young writers who would like to bring in their own writing to be reviewed and discussed by their peers in a creative and nurturing environment. Students who prefer not to bring in work take part by learning how to talk about writing in a constructive way while helping fellow writers improve their pieces.

Sessions take place on select Tuesday evenings from 6:30-8:30 pm ET. In the interest of public health, Young Writers' Studio will be held online on Zoom until it is safe to resume in-person meetings. You must register in advance.
