TeenFusion @ the GDL

Express Yourself this summer at Read/Write/Lunch, every other Saturday from 1:00 to 3:00 PM at the Davison Area Library.  A good writing group or workshop provides a welcoming environment for authors to share their work for critique and support, make friends, brainstorm ideas and talk about writing.  Members usually have a common goal-to be published authors.  Read/Write/Lunch is an opportunity for you to do all of the above and more.  Discover how to format a manuscript, write query letters, and where to send them.  The first meeting is June 13 with pizza on the lunch menu.  Please bring a sample of your writing.  You will lead the discussion on your work, so think about a question or two you could ask about your writing sample. 

Express Yourself at a GDL Teen Summer Reading event.  Summer programs feature you writing, drawing, sculpting and performing.  Start with the TeenFusion Talent Show.  Get your act together, make a video then upload your audition to our You Tube website.  Selected entries will perform live at preliminary events to be held at four GDL locations events on Thursdays in June and July.  Three performances from each event will enter the final competition on July 30, 2009 at the Baker Park Branch.  Watch for more details later this week.

Columnist Eileen Button, journalist Angela Seyfried and novelist Renee Hand share their experience as professional writers and challenge you to find your writing style.  Join me at Davison for Read/Write/Lunch, a writing workshop for aspiring teen authors.  Discover how to publish your music and lyrics with Shava Jamerson as she presents Selling Your Song.  Fling your artistic flare drawing or sculpting with Flint Institute of Art instructors when they hold class at seven GDL branches.   Save time for reading with Express Yourself @ the GDL Summer Reading Challenge.  Read for yourself and the branch team to win an end of summer party. Online registration begins June 15.
