2024 Youth Fellow Workshop: Zazie Anastasopoulos
Join 2024 Youth Fellow Zazie Anastasopoulos for a workshop inspired by her 2024 Fellow Project, “Still Life.”
As Zazie explains: “‘Still Life’ is one story in my collection Body Acts which considers women’s bodies and pain … Each story takes up uncanny interactions between women and those who oversee their bodies: doctors in particular, but also bosses and even the beauty industry.”
Learn about Zazie’s project, the JBWC Youth Fellowship (applications open now!), and get writing and brainstorming inspired by Zazie’s project or a project you hope to create!
If you attend in person, JBWC doors open at 3:30pm. Feel free to drop in early to relax with a book, work on your writing, try a prompt, or catch up with your creative peers!
- Youth Writing Workshops at the JBWC are FREE and aimed at young students aged 12–18.
- This workshop is hybrid—you can attend in-person or from home!
- ACCESSIBILITY NOTE: If you have any questions/issues accessing any of these opportunities, please let us know and we will work with you to make sure you can participate.

Zazie Anastasopoulos2024 JBWC Youth Fellow
Zazie Anastasopoulos is a rising senior at Nichols High School who writes poetry, prose, and plays. Stories are her passion, though, and her fiction has won First Prize in Nichols’ Purdy Prize for Fiction several times and, last year, a Gold Key in the National Scholastic Writing Awards. Her project, Body Acts, is a collection of feminist medical horror tales in the vein of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein or Shelley’s Jackson’s Half Life, and she’s excited to keep writing weird women’s fiction this summer and in college.
