The Midwest Writing Center will start a new program for young writers at the Bucktown Center for the Arts on Saturday, January 9, 2016. The Young Writers Studio is a new casual writing workshop/critique group for young writers in and around the Quad City area.

Writers, approximate ages 15-19, are welcome to come and share their work (poetry, stories, essays, plays, or any other kind of writing they are pursuing) with the group and receive constructive feedback, or they are welcome to listen and join the discussion.

The Young Writers Studio will meet twice monthly, on the second and fourth Saturdays of each month through April.

Here is a complete list of dates:

January 9^th and 23^rd
February 13^th and 27^th
March 12^th and 26^th
April 9^th and 23^rd

The Young Writers Studio is free and open to the public. Pre-registration is not required.
