Author Description

Welcome to A Decade of Shared Stories, a compilation of writing that celebrates ten years of the country's most effective youth writings, including everything from absurdist fiction, to political writing, to college essays that inspired personal "Thank you" notes from directors of admissions committees. Indeed, Writopia Lab writers have won more recognition for their writing each year than other group of children and teens in the nation since 2009. As you read, you will be captivated by the creativity of these children and teens who come from across the country and from all walks of life-public and private schools, treatment centers, and homeless shelters-yet share a passion and desire for uncensored writing, stimulating discussion, critical thinking, literary community, and the transformative experience of Writopia Lab's open, and nurturing workshop process.
