Local father, writer, musician and 12-year veteran teacher Chris Tanis believes that young people have something to say; and to help them say it, he has created the Young Writers’ Guild. Tan is explains: “This Guild is an opportunity for boys and girls to explore creative writing as an experience of self-discovery in a safe, nurturing workshop environment. We will explore identity, culture, new ideas, old ideas and play with language as we work on original pieces, edit/revise them, create individual portfolios and finally publish them in chapbook [booklet] form.”
