Middle School Writers’ Group
Want to start writing or already writing like crazy? We share poems, stories, novels, and writing games. This group is free, meets all year long, and is good for kids in grades 6 through 9. This group will continue to meet virtually until it seems safe to start alternating live and virtual meetings. Those interested in joining should email Dana at
