Columbus, Ohio – Thurber House is excited to present a brand new writing program, the Thurber House Young Writer’s Studio, targeted at 10th through 12th grade writers.

The studio is a new and fun format that will give students a chance to put aside their homework and work with professional writers. Led by freelance writer and editor Kelli C. Trinoskey, along with other local writers, students will learn new writing techniques, explore different genres, and receive feedback on their work while interacting with other teens who love writing as much as they do.

The Young Writer’s Studio will meet from 6:30-8:30 p.m. on Feb. 22, March 22, April 26, and May 24 at Thurber House, 77 Jefferson Ave. The program is $25 for all four session, but the space is limited and the group is first come, first served. To register, students send an application form and payment to: Thurber House, 77 Jefferson Ave., Columbus, OH 43215.

Thurber House is a literary center and museum located in the former home of author and New Yorker humorist James Thurber. We offer fall and winter readings series with nationally known authors, outdoor summer picnics with Ohio-connected authors, writing classes for children, and special literary events year-round. In addition, we award the annual Thurber Prize for American Humor, the nation’s highest honor for the art of humor writing.
