EVENTS

Creative Writing Contests, Exhibits, Readings, and MORE! 
Literary Art in Motion and Within Your Reach!
All year long, we host literary events for teens that build bridges to new worlds. Authors, writers, and poets of all ages dive into book debates, sharpen their wordsmith skills, perform poetry, read excerpts, and meet literary heroes at our events to live the stories they want to tell.
I write for the very reason I breathe. It's the only way. It's how I make a living. It's how I'm okay mentally. It's how I express my emotions. —delmetria millener
Literary Café. Teens meet up at this pop-up event to write letters, poetry, prose, and narratives that celebrate the past, present, and future. We host live Lit Zine readings, and teens read some of their favorite books or discover new ones that are rare or hard-to-find at school and in libraries.
