Writing is an excellent form of expression, and the the Farmington Public Library is offering teen authors a space in which to explore their imaginations. The Teen Writer’s Guild is a creative writing group for teens, ages 13 – 19. The Guild is a safe place for writers and poets to express ideas, share their work, and collaborate with like-minded creators.
The Guild meets every Tuesday from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm here at the library.
(Registration is not required to attend).
Guidelines
- For ages 13 – 19
- This is a safe place where participants can share their work and discuss if they choose to do so. There is NO judgement here.
- Writers can share as little or as much as they want (time permitting, of course). Writers are not required to share anything at all.
- This is NOT school! The work will not be graded or ranked. This is not a contest.
- Listen to each other. Not only is it basic respect, but you might learn something or be inspired by something someone else has written.
- Most writers crave feedback, but sometimes constructive criticism can be taken personally and in a negative way. Please be aware of this when offering advice. Please remember: the purpose of this group is to offer a low-pressure and creative environment for everybody.
- Most of all, HAVE FUN and enjoy the community we create together!
