MARSHALL — Students who love telling stories, whether they’re scary, funny, epic, entertaining or edifying can learn more about creating great stories, poetry and characters at the upcoming Conference for Young Writers.
Presenters at the event will teach students writing techniques to help them enhance their stories and get them excited about reading and writing.
Students will attend three hands-on learning sessions pertaining to an area of writing, and the conference will kick off with Peter Bloedel, professor of theater, musician and juggler.
