Description:

Local youth writing nonprofit 826DC is thrilled to unveil its latest student publication by young authors from the SEED School of Washington. Reading excerpts from this new collection of poetry will be the writing mentors who supported students through the course of their year-long book project, from first draft to professionally bound publication. All proceeds from the book support 826DC's free writing programs for DC students.

This event is sponsored by Busboys and Poets Books and co-sponsored by 826DC. 826DC is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting students ages 6-18 with their creative and expository writing skills, and to helping teachers inspire their students to write. 826DC offers free tutoring, field trips, workshops, in-school programs, and assistance with student publications from their writing center in Columbia Heights.
