Join us online for Speak Up, a teen creative writing program supporting the artistic and professional growth of teens.
In this FREE virtual creative writing workshop mini-series, teens will partner with experienced teaching artists to empower the creative writing process, from drafting to performance to publishing, to boost literacy and empower youth in Miami through community-based writing activities.
The program is open to all teens (ages 13-19) and is as free of charge as it is free of homework. No previous experience necessary!
September 6:
Instructor: Abigail Nover
Theme: All About Audiobooks!
What makes a truly great audiobook? In All About Audiobooks! we’ll explore this and more. We’ll run through an overview of how audiobooks get made and all of the people who contribute along the way. Learn about the audio publishing process from the moment the manuscript is ready to record to when it hits listeners’ ears. We’ll talk about narration, direction, production, post production, and publishing and how to get involved in the industry.
