Tommy Orange - Youth Writing Workshop - November 7 2024 - Creative Writing Programs for Youth - Just Buffalo Writing Center

Tommy Orange: A Youth Writing Workshop

In this youth writing workshop inspired by Tommy Orange’s Wandering Stars, we’ll consider how writers recover and reimagine history, families, place, and connection.

We’ll write into echoes and ripples across time, give space to what’s lost and found, and experiment with drafting characters.

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!

  • The JBWC Creative Writing Programs for Youth are FREE and aimed at young students aged 12–18.
  • This youth writing 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.
