Teen Writing Workshop in Iowa City
Teen Writing Workshop
What is the Literary Kiosk? The Literary Kiosk is an amazing machine that spits out flash fiction, poetry, and short essays at the push of a button. It lives in the public library and anyone can access it. It’s like an arcade game for reading (SPOILER: there are no losers)!
How can you get YOUR writing in this incredible device?
Come to the teens (grades 7-12) Literary Kiosk writing workshop! Hosted by two University of Iowa students, the workshop will help you turn your literary ambitions into 8,000-character submissions.
Join Sarah Weeks and Ajla Dizdarevic on 12/7 from 1-2 pm for generative writing exercises and on-the-spot work-shopping. Bring your favorite writing medium—pens, pencils, papers, or laptops—and be ready to write. You can also bring a finished 8,000-character submission!
Once your piece is ready, you can submit it for publication in the Literary Kiosk—and your friends & family can press the button and hope it pops out! Help us showcase the local writing talent in our city. Join us!
For more information, contact Sarah and Ajla at sarah-weeks@uiowa.edu and ajla-dizdarevic@uiowa.edu.
