Poetic Playlist: Creative Writing Class for Teens: Openings in the Fall for 11-15 year old Writers!

Poetic Playlist is a weekly, online class for girls and gender-expansive youth ages 12-15. This writing group, comprised of 4-6 writers from around the country, is for those who love music and writing (in any genre)! Each week, we unpack works from celebrated songwriters who have used their voices and words as a means to challenge, inspire, and comfort us. We’ll discuss one to two songs, and then write in response to a prompt connected to the song in poetry, prose, or any other genre/form that writers feel compelled to use. Afterward, we share work and give positive-only feedback. Writers learn how to analyze lyrics for elements of craft, strengthening their own writing along the way. 

There are eleven classes over the course of the fall semester. Classes are $90/each and run for two hours. You’ll only be charged for ten classes* in case your writer needs to miss one. If your writer comes to all eleven classes, consider the extra class a bonus! 

Class time: 1:00 pm PST - 3:00 pm PST (online;)

Class days: SUNDAYS this fall...
