Writing the Teen Self

$0.00
sold out

Formerly available through Crow Collective and Hugo House.

Grab your Pee Chee folders and glitter pens to spend time in homeroom once more to write about those precious teenage years. While no one wants to repeat those awkward moments, we get to explore them in our writing. The mortifying, the funny, the sweet. In this 2-hour generative writing workshop, we’ll revisit coming of age milestones that our adult-selves can now see with compassion.

What Participants Will Take Away

  • Read multi-genre excerpts as examples.

  • Discuss how writers examine those awkward teen years in literature.

  • Write with guided prompts inspired by the pieces, with an option to share in a safe space.

Date:

Saturday, October 7 at 7 AM PDT / 10 AM EDT / 3 PM BST / 7:30 PM IST

About Instructor
Christina Berke is a Los Angeles based writer and former middle school teacher. She regrettably loved butterfly hair clips, plastic chokers, and zigzag headbands during her tween years.

Students Say:

“This class really kick started a bunch of ideas for me, so fun!”

“I loved how this class really helped me remember such a pivotal time in my life and loved reading the excerpts too! Can’t wait to write more!”
