“Teen Novel Writing Workshop to take place Feb. 23 & 24, 2019 at the Hopkins Center for the Arts, Hopkins

Know a teen who loves to write and dreams of one day becoming a published author? If so, here’s a workshop he or she may want to attend: “Novel Writing for Teens,” led by Sigma’s Bookshelf co-founder Rachel M. Anderson.

Sigma’s Bookshelf, based in Minnetonka, MN, is believed to be the first and only free book publishing company exclusively for teen writers. Check out their 12 published titles at www.sigmasbookshelf.com/books. The company is grant supported and all services are 100% free for teens whose books are selected for publication. Authors are also paid royalties for books that sell online, at stores, and at events.

The next scheduled two day workshop takes place on Sat., and Sun., Feb. 23 and 24, 2019, at the Hopkins Center for the Arts.

Thanks to a grant from the Minnesota Regional Arts Council (MRAC), cost is just $50 per student, and scholarships are available upon request.
