TIVOLI – Writing Through the Autumn Wind: A Workshop Series for Youth

Additional Information

The Tivoli Library presents a 4-week series on Tuesdays in November, starting on 11/07/17 @ 6:00pm-7:00pm in the East Room! For grades 5-9/ages 10-15. Sign-up for each session, contact the library to register. Space is limited. Participation in all sessions is not required, but is encouraged. Writing implements and notebooks/paper will be provided, but if you have favourite writing tools and/or notebooks, please bring them with you!

Writer Kaitlynn Buchbaum will explore different forms of writing: poetry, journaling, fiction, and non-fiction. These forms will allow us to get in touch with ourselves through words, and will help us to get started writing. Activities include: Surrealist Writing; Journaling; Letter Writing; and Fairy Tales.

Journaling - Traditional and Bullet Journaling: Learn about daybooks and accounts of famous writers' days, as well as how to incorporate that style into your own writing. Bullet Journaling teaches you how to write down many different types of ideas; perfect for those who are very busy!

Tuesday, November 21, 2017 @ 6:00pm-7:00pm
Letter Writing: Look at examples of how authors write to one another and try writing your own letter to another creative pal.

Tuesday, November 28, 2017 @ 6:00pm-7:00pm
Fairy Tales: Write a short story that includes a moral. It can feature magic, be full of whimsy, and a little fanciful.

Kaitlynn Buchbaum is a recent graduate from Bard College, and an avid reader and writer. She works at the Institute for International Liberal Education as a fellow, and tutors English to non-native speakers.
