Dancing With The Pen:
a collection of today’s best youth writing

What:

• Dancing With The Pen, the debut anthology from Write On! Books youth publishing company, features stories, poems, and essays by more than sixty young writers in middle school and high school from across the United States and even abroad: Singapore, Canada, New Zealand.

• Write On! Books has a twofold goal: give young writers an outlet for expression, while also publishing exciting, creative stories that get kids excited about reading.

• Founder and editor Dallas Woodburn says, “Dancing with the Pen is a book for young writers, young readers, and the young at heart. Even if you are not normally a big reader, this book is still for you. Maybe you'll recognize yourself in these pages. Maybe you’ll even be inspired to pick up a pen, step out on the dance floor, and go for a whirl yourself!”

Writing runs in the family, huh?

I found out after my grandmother passed, that she used to write a column for the paper. I never knew. My dad sent me the clipping of her articles. i need to do something with them.
