Back to School

September 21, 2005

Drop-in has been running for a whole week—we've seen new and old volunteers, students, cousins of students, friends of cousins of students, and so on. We're excited to get started creating Gigantor books and collecting stories for the next issue of The 826NYC Review. Max today completed a story about a cell-phone savvy dog who saves a school from monkeys wielding Oreos as weapons. (You'll have to drop by and ask him for more details.)

Now that school's in full swing, we're hoping to revamp the writing center with new and used computers. Please let us know if you have access to Mac laptops and/or eMacs and Mac minis.

YA Writers' Colony Wraps Up

September 12, 2005

The arrival of September heralds the end of the Young Adult Writers' Colony, and our novelists are busily finishing up their manuscripts. The multi-talented Kyisha Davenport came by last week to add some final touches to a work that shows great promise. Be sure to keep an eye out for more news from this crop of talented artists.

Fall hails the beginning of a new school year as well as the return of drop-in tutoring! The center is eager for familiar folks and newcomers alike to join us for another year of great fun and great work. 826NYC is kicking off the school year with a literary reading starring some of our resident authors. The evening will feature selections from The 826NYC Review and author signings!
