Lit Youngstown’s ninth annual Winter Writing Camp will be held Saturday, Feb. 28 at Main Library, 305 Wick Ave., Youngstown. The camp occurs from 9:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.
The day-long event offers writing activities led by regional writers and has dedicated tracks for youth and adults. No experience is necessary.
Children in kindergarten and first grade require an adult with them through the day, and children under the age of 10 require an adult in the building. Adult campers can select sessions on writing memoir, fiction or poetry and learn more about publishing.
This year’s workshop leaders are Christopher Barzak, John Burroughs, Russell Brickey, JRW Case, Meghan Cliffel, Makenna Liller Dahman, Bella Davis, Teresa Leone, Isabella Moreno, Trennae Roe, Abby Vandiver, Shaunda Yancey and Kara M. Zone.
Registration is required for this free event and includes a lunch catered by Aladdin’s Eatery. Registration closes Feb. 1 or when all seats are filled. Walk-ins will not be permitted. For registration and information, visit lityoungstown.org/winter-writing-camp.
