Edmonton Teen Writing Group

I just recieved this information and thought I would share it with the aspiring writers out there. Kathleen

EDMONTON TEEN WRITING GROUP

The Writers Guild of Alberta is proud to be launching a mentored writing group in Edmonton, specifically designed for teens age 15 to 19. The purpose of this group is to unite teens interested in pursing the craft of writing; to provide a fun, friendly, safe and structured environment for participants to receive constructive feedback on their writing, involve themselves in literary discussion, take part in writing-on-site projects, and engage with like-minded young writers. The group will meet on a monthly basis, with the first meeting to take place on Sunday, November 23, 2008.

It's All About You

I need your help because I have HOMEWORK! I forgot how grim that can be. So, here's the thing, I need your help to finish my assignment. I've made a short (10 question) survey that should take you all of 5 minutes to complete. You do have to be in Grades 7-12 to answer the survey. It's mostly multiple choice with two short (really!) answer questions. The last one is for you to recommend a book for me to read, and since the answers are anonymous, I won't come back and tell you if I didn't like it.

Here is the link to the survey through surveymonkey.com:Click Here to take survey

Thanks for your help!
