Transmissions is a collection of youth writing edited and designed by Youth Ambassadors of Just Buffalo's Writing Center. Issue 6 features work that emerged from JBWC programs during the Spring of 2024.
At Just Buffalo Literary Center, we believe in the love of reading, the art of writing, and the power of the literary arts to transform lives and communities. WORDPLAY, our annual anthology featuring the writing of young people composed during our education programs, performs every part of this mission. Take a look inside past issues. See what moves the young people of Western New York. We are always astonished by what is voiced inside, and we are sure you will be too.
JBWC is thrilled to present a new, digital publication: Stepping Into Your Light
We are thrilled to present Transmissions (Issue 5): a collection of youth writing from Just Buffalo's Writing Center in Fall of 2023, edited and designed by JBWC Youth Ambassadors.
Presenting a selection of pieces from Blood Rummage by 2023 JBWC Youth Fellow Jonah Ruddock, who explores how a microplastic traverses a wilderness of waste and decay. "Remember: everything is touching everything else, and everyone is lying to you."
Every year, we hold a summer gathering for alum and current writers of Just Buffalo’s Writing Center. This year, Fitz Books welcomed our crew on their whimsical back patio. We ate, we caught up, we traded prompts and wrote, and, new this year, we piloted a game we’re calling Musical Notebooks that, while involving no music or notebooks, was a blast!
At the Writing Center, we have the honor to be privy to the work of the next generation of artists and thinkers. Every month, JBWC Youth Ambassadors will be selecting three creations by writers involved with the Writing Center. Enjoy!
