The Porch youth program fosters emerging writers in grades 3 - 12 by providing opportunities to learn and practice creative writing in its many forms and to connect with other young literary artists.

In addition to our online workshops, we partner with Nashville area schools, after-school programs, libraries, and community centers to provide creative writing workshops in many genres. While all of our in-person workshops are currently suspended, we can still write together! We have three classes coming up right now:

HYBIRD FORMS with AM Ringwalt (grades 6 - 8), Sat. Feb. 20

CODES AND CODEBREAKERS with Madelin Parsley (grades 3 - 5), Sat. Feb. 27
