High School Program: Free Creative Writing Workshop

On the Eastern Shore, animals are often central to our lives—as pets, as food we hunt and fish, and as an essential part of the eco-system we protect. In the stories we tell about our lives, they can be both literal and metaphorical, making space for alternative realities and challenging how we see ourselves and our environments. In this generative workshop, award-winning writers Christopher Kondrich and Kyoko Mori will guide students as they begin their own creative writing project—a poem, story, or essay inspired in some way by the animal world.

This workshop is open to all high school students; no previous creative writing experience is necessary. Participation is free; registration is required. Students are invited to stay after the workshop for the free author panel “The Art and Science of Conservation,” which will consider the ways literature can change attitudes about animals and the environment.
