“Don’t get it right, just get it written.” -James Thurber

January 10, 2011

James’ sound advice is often heard at Thurber House’s Young Writers’ Studio.  As we approach YWS’s historic, five-year Anniversary, I’d like to thank the staff at Thurber House, the numerous teen writers who have invested their talent and time and the authors, writers and educators who have shared their wisdom with all of us over the past five years.

YWS continues to offer teen writers the chance to receive feedback on their writing, learn new techniques, explore different writing genres and have fun in a supportive environment with teens who love to write.

Join us the following up-coming Wednesdays:
