Don’t Take Our Word for It…
"I was a freshman in high school when I began writing with the group three years ago. I participated in the

Pickford Community Library's workshop. I joined because I had always found a joy in writing since I was small: it gives me a way to use the words I've learned and love in combination with my imagination. It helped me harness my words into fluent patterns and let me bring out my voice in writing so that my works, in the group or for English class, became more interesting to read and I got better grades. If I have the chance to, I’ll always join this group or one like it; the experience is a load of fun and it helps me take another step forward in achieving a personal goal I have."

"This was my first year participating. I joined the group during my sophomore year of high school. I joined the group in hopes of refining my writing and revising skills, as well as gaining knowledge of how publication works. I was happy to find lessons that were intriguing and informative, and I learned a plethora of information every single session. While writer's workshop hasn't had a major impact on my school studies, it has greatly improved my personal life. It has motivated me to work extremely hard on what I am most passionate about and has offered me an incredible opportunity that I am so grateful for. In addition, sitting in a room with other writers and talking about a craft we all understand and love is so much more wholesome as opposed to going it alone on the front of writing. It has shed light on how what I once considered a lovable hobby can be a career, and it has shown me that I am not alone in the struggles all writers face. I most definitely want to join the group again next year and would love to find more opportunities similar to it. Writing, for me, is a lifestyle. Some have sports, some have stage props, and some have computers—I have a pencil and a sheet of paper. With it, and with the opportunities this group has given me, I can create universes that previously never existed."
