LITERARY ARTS

Writing classes at the Turner Center for the Arts are for youth and adult students looking to begin or advance their skills and make writing an active part of their lives. Through these classes, students explore a variety of paths to written expression and authorship. Our youth and adult groups are both led by Dr. Cheryl Carvajal, an accomplished and published author and literary educator, and meet both online and face-to-face. The annual Art of Writing Contest provides youth with the ability to use their skills to write on a specific topic, with the opportunity to present their works and to be published. The Turner Center is building a supportive community of writers that allows students from various backgrounds and interests to participate in enriching experiences!

Are you a youth who longs to write? Do you have a story to tell? Join us for the Young Online Writers League! Students write poetry and prose, growing comfortable as they learn how to discuss one another's work, hone skills with varied exercises, and gain insight into their writing abilities as each one finds their unique writing voice. Regular writing prompts and thought provokers are shared online using Discord. Regular meetings are offered in both online and face-to-face formats.
