Creative Writing Workshops for Teens

The Tompkins County Public Library will host “Teens Write!,” a creative writing workshop for teens led by Irene Zahava, each Wednesday during the month of April from 4:00 to 5:30 PM in the Thaler/Howell Programming Room.

Irene (Zee) Zahava is the director of Emma's Writing Center and has been leading writing circles since l994. She is a former bookstore owner, the editor of numerous short story anthologies and haiku journals, and the co-publisher of 2 Turtles Press. She is also affiliated with the Durland Alternatives Library at Cornell University, a project of the CRESP Center for Transformative Action.

“Teens Write!” is best suited for tweens and teens ages 11 through 17.  The program will provide a safe and supportive environment for creative writing and group sharing.  There is no charge for the program; however, advanced registration is required. To register, or for more information, contact Zahava at 607- 273-4675 or zee@twcny.rr.com.

The 2010 Teens Write program is made possible by the Tompkins County Public Library Foundation through gifts from Carrie Shearer and Suzanne Spitz.
