For ages 12–18.

Join fellow aspiring writers in a relaxed and creative setting where you can share your ideas, get feedback and work on your technique.

Experienced writers and amateurs are all welcome to join the Library’s Teen Writing Group to share their work, and to get to know other writers in our community. Some Teen Writing Group meetings are led by group members, others by guest hosts. Authors who have been guest hosts for the Teen Writing Group in the past include: Clementine Beauvais, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Anne Heltzel, Amy Plum, Hilary Reyl, Tioka Tokdira, and James Verini.

For the 2021-2022 season, the Teen Writing Group will meet one one Saturday a month from 5pm-6:30pm.

Applications for the 2021-2022 Teen Writing Group will be open from 28 May through 31 July 2021. Applications are due by 31 July at 23h00. You can expect to write one to two paragraphs about yourself and why you would like to join the club. Questions about the Library’s collections and programs for teens can be sent to Celeste Rhoads, our Children’s and Teens’ Services Manager: celeste@americanlibraryinparis.org. The application will be available on this page beginning on 28 May.

This club is open to Library members. Find out more about Library memberships.
