Becoming a Writer: A Panel for Teens

Hosted and emceed by teen writers participating in INKlings, a teen writing group mentored by local authors. Discussion will cover a wide range of topics relevant to young writers, driven by their questions about how to approach revision, how to submit their work, whether to pursue formal study in creative writing, and much more. The panel of adult authors who write in a wide range of genres and styles — Jess Walter, Kris Dinnison, Trent Reedy, Stephanie Oakes, and Rachel Toor — speak about their early experiences with writing, how they've stuck with it over the years, and offer tips and advice.
