Books

The Creative Writing program provides an environment for teens to express themselves through stories. Teens learn the importance of voice, audience, intent, imagery, and organization in writing through discussion and analysis of works from a diverse group of published authors as well as by sharing their own original work with the group on a weekly basis. The group explores many different narrative forms as the teens work toward producing written stories of publishable quality. The teens also read their stories at venues throughout the City of Chicago.
