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.
